Sandy River Basin Watershed Council meeting is scheduled February 28th
Sunday, February 5, 2012
The Sandy River Basin Watershed Council invites local residents to participate in the kickoff meeting for our Restorative Flood Response project. The Restorative Flood Response community meeting will be held on Tuesday, February 28, 2012 from 6:30 – 8:30 pm at the Welches Elementary School. With support from the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board, the Council will work with neighborhoods impacted by flooding to explore actions that can increase habitat along the river and also reduce risk to property owners during future high water events.
“We want this to be the start of a community dialogue to define and learn about actions that landowners can take that will benefit both people and salmon,” said Steve Wise, the Council’s executive director. “The January 2011 flood taught some hard lessons about the river’s possible impact to nearby homes and infrastructure. But it got people’s attention too, looking for ways they can sustainably prepare for future high water events.”
During the meeting river experts will explore why the river behaves the way it does, what are the habitat needs of salmon, and which types of potential projects can reduce the risk to homes and infrastructure while also providing habitat for salmon. Discussions will seek residents’ input on possible streambank and floodplain restoration projects that the Council can help to explore in future reviews, including field visits.
“The one thing we’re sure of is that this was not the last high water event the Sandy basin will see,” Wise said, noting recent research from the Marmot dam removal that indicates the January 2011 storm had a statistical return interval of less than 25 years even though it was the third largest on record. “Connecting effective restoration approaches along the streambank with possible habitat reconnection nearby, we believe there are opportunities to work with groups of landowners to find actions that will lead to restorative flood responses.”
The Sandy is a dynamic, glacial river flowing through a valley filled with lahars, unconsolidated volcanic deposits. That means that the river can readily change locations within its historic course, a process known as channel migration, as the Sandy did most recently in January 2011. These factors need to be considered when planning development or projects along the river and in the channel migration zone.
Please share this information with others who may be interested.

Ski the Historic Glade Trail in Government Camp: 10 Year Anniversary March 3rd!
Thursday, January 26, 2012
March 3rd is the 10th Anniversary of the Ski the Glade Trail fundraiser. If you've skied at Timberline you've likely heard of the Glade Trail which leaves the designated ski area of Timberline and meanders several miles down to the heart of Government Camp emptying onto the road known as Blossom Trail. In the old days, pre-plowing the streets, skiers could ski all the way down to the Government Camp Loop road and quench their thirst at local taverns and restaurants.
It's a full day event. Find details here.
Government Camp Rest Stop Staying Open
Wednesday, January 25, 2012
The only rest stop between Madras and Sandy almost was shut down to to a lack of funding by ODOT. The Government Camp rest stop is old and in need of updating and repairs. It was slated to shut down but local area businesses and leaders worked with politicians to get it funded at least through March 31, 2012. Other options are currently in the works. Read the details in the Sandy Post article.

Fantastic Mt. Hood forest cabin location on the Zig Zag River with a great rock fireplace to warm up after skiing. This cabin sits above the river and it's a short walk down to the water. An open living area with kitchen, dining and living room make a great gathering place. Sleeping areas are a private bedroom down and up a spiral staircase to the huge loft upstairs with multiple beds. A sliding glass door takes you to the deck overlooking the forest and river below. Only about 10 minutes to the slopes and very affordable at $90,000! take a tour
