The Wageman Ranch stretches along both sides of 0.40 miles of Tenmile Creek. After he purchased the property from his grandparents, the owner has been making strides to improve the ranch in ways that also benefit fish and wildlife. He recently entered into a contract with CREP to fully fence and restore his riparian area, but current instream conditions, including a lack of large wood, poor riparian areas, and livestock stream crossings, are limiting the health of the stream. PUR and ODFW assessed the stream as part of the South Umpqua Restoration Planning TA (213-2054) and designed nine instream restoration sites while PUR’s engineer surveyed and designed a railcar bridge to be used as a livestock and equipment crossing. The landowner is enthusiastic about restoration work on his property and has committed to providing all of the logs and trees needed for instream work and the use of his construction equipment and time towards the project. Successful completion of this work will improve fish habitat in the watershed and potentially lead to more projects with adjacent landowners and other family members that live along Tenmile Creek.
