Your funds are <br />considered "local match" for our Council Support grant. This match leverages <br />over $5o,000 per year in state funds to this watershed and helps us compete <br />for many other grants. <br />This year has been very productive. Here is a brief synopsis of activities, <br />itemized to match our scope of watershed services. Some of the services <br />described in the original contract were complete the first year and are not <br />mentioned here. <br />1. Conservation Action Planning (CAP). The Council provided aquatic <br />habitat and water quality information to support the CAP for the <br />geographic area that includes west Eugene. <br />2. Restoration Projects. The Council worked on numerous restoration <br />projects, detailed as follows: <br />a. Oak savanna and upland prairie. The Council worked on 4 <br />projects that provide oak savanna, woodland, and upland and <br />wet prairie habitat in areas surrounding Eugene to augment and <br />benefit the species that frequent the West Eugene Wetlands <br />and Ridgeline habitats. These included the Sogge, Murphy, <br />Johnson and Erickson properties. As a result of successful <br />outreach, for which the Council secured private grants, we <br />initiated and received funding for the first in another large <br />complex of these projects with the new Kime project just this <br />year. <br />b. Wild Iris Ridge Project, & Rivers to Ridges Partnership. The <br />Council has continued work on the Wild Iris Ridge project for <br />upland habitat, including leading educational tours and "how - <br />to" tours to help private landowners and citizens understand <br />what it takes to restore and maintain the essential ecological <br />qualities of these habitats. The Council continues to serve at <br />both the executive and implementation level of the Rivers To <br />Ridges Partnership and shares knowledge and plans of use to <br />the City in those forums. <br />c. Amazon Creek. We are extremely excited to report that we <br />have been successful in securing private foundation funding to <br />monitor pesticides in Amazon Creek, in both the urban and <br />agricultural sections, and reduce levels as appropriate based on <br />
