  "projectDescription": "The Upper Abernathy Creek restoration project will restore habitat and place large wood along 15,824 feet of Abernathy and Martin creek channels and 2,900 feet of floodplain habitat. This will improve spawning and rearing habitat for coho salmon, winter steelhead, and Pacific lamprey. It will also improve instream and river bank habitat along 1,924-feet of an unnamed tributary to upper Abernethy Creek.  About 1,500,000 square feet of wetland habitat will be added and 7.8 acres will be cleared of invasive plants and replanted with native species.This project is one of 10 restoration projects near Portland in the Clackamas and Lower Willamette Rivers overseen by the Johnson Creek Watershed Council, in close collaboration with the Clackamas Partnership. The work will benefit several threatened salmon species and address flooding issues and other community safety concerns.",

      "description": "The Clackamas Partnership developed a Strategic Action Plan in 2018 to guide its activities to restore seven key native fish species. The focus of this restoration is improving and opening access to freshwater habitat. This Strategic Plan drew upon many regionalassessments and plans, primarily The Lower Columbia River Conservation and Recovery Plan for Oregon Populations of Salmon and Steelhead (Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife 2010). This plan describes factors limiting the recovery of seven species/populations found within the Focus Area, six of which are ESA-listed. Restoration actions also emphasize Pacific lamprey (astate and federal sensitive species) and bull trout (an ESA-listed species that was historically present in the Clackamas River Basin and recently reintroduced).",
