Today we worked in Kittitas Co. with Brent again. We worked at the Eaton site and at the North Fork Teanaway. The weather was nice though the wind was a little cold. We pulled weeds at Eaton’s and put up an electric fence at the North Fork sights. Nick Mott came out to say hello too. It was a pretty good day.

We hacked, whacked, brushed and lopped our little hearts out today and we were actually able to restore the old broken down fence at the ol’ Gurtis site. Not even the hot sun, poison ivy, stinging nettle or horse flies could stop us.

Our crew has built a shade cloth room for our plant facility and today we got to start painting it! So we covered or moved plants out of the way, climbed up on ladders and rolled our way to white. We’re almost done, finally!

We had the opportunity to help out at the Salmon Summit today. The Salmon Summit is a collaboration of elementary schools and conservation agencies getting together to raise and release juvenile salmon. Today the kids got to release their young salmon and enjoy an array of activities. They also had a visit by a man-sized salmon thanks to two of our WCC guys, Matt and Chad.

Today we repaired the fence at the Buchanan Ranch. The dirtiest part was getting all the dirt out of the holes for our posts.

Today was a good day. We got another newer computer today and its working so far. Hopefully it will last longer than the last one. After that we got the oil changed on the truck, and then we went out to Eaton’s to finish the drip line. Most of the plants look really good. After that we pulled weeds the rest of the day. On break I harvested some dog’s bain or Indian hemp and showed some of the crew members how to make cordage. The weather was a little rainy earlier, and later in the day it was sunny and warm.

Today the crew and I went to Fletchers and planted 15 plants and 25 willows.
Then we went to the middle fork and put down out drip line and put weed mating down over some of the plants that we missed.

On this windy Wednesday the crew unwound, pinned down and laid down over 2000 feet of drip line in Kittitas today. That’s going to water a lot of plants.

We began fixing a leak in a fish weir using a tamper and layering rocks and gravel. We also cleared a side channel and actually found juvenile Rainbow Trout and a Red Shiner. This is what it’s all about folks; it’s nice to see some of these little guys.
