Al Schmauder will give a free presentation on fish passages and other restoration efforts in the Chambers Creek watershed on Thursday. The program is sponsored by Puget Sound Flyfishers.

A long time activist for restoration of Clover and Chambers creeks, Schmauder will cover the recent work done to rebuild a fish ladder at the Chambers Creek dam. His presentation will include photos of the other seven fish ladders between Chambers Bay and Spanaway Lake. He will also discuss other major restoration work that has been completed and what other work is planned to include bringing back steelhead to Chambers Creek.

The meeting will be at the Tower Lanes banquet room, 6323 Sixth Ave., Tacoma.

A dinner at a cost of $15 is offered prior to the group’s regular monthly meeting. Activities begin at 6 p.m. The public is invited. For more information, go to psff.org.

  • Bridge construction this summer first step to restoring Padden Creek in Bellingham

    BELLINGHAM - Crews will build a bridge on Old Fairhaven Parkway this summer, in anticipation of work to improve salmon habitat at Padden Creek.

    Next year, Padden Creek will be restored to its original channel and routed away from a 120-year-old tunnel that is virtually impassable to migrating fish. The creek will flow under the new bridge, near 20th Street, where construction is scheduled to begin on May 1.

    Instead of a detour, there will be a short, paved bypass road next to the bridge construction site. Traffic flow should be nearly normal through the bypass, Department of Transportation spokesman Dave Chesson said.
