After ten years of advocacy, the Task Force is excited to announce that Hemlock Dam has been removed. Amazingly, steelhead returned to the creek the day after water was returned to the stream channel - the webcam site linked below also hosts the video taken of the returning steelhead. Restoration will continue at the site over the next few seasons.
