The proposed action is to replace the existing stream crossing structures with a bridge within the right-of-way where Kueffler Road (FSR 1400)crosses the East Fork Woodard Creek, providing aquatic organism passage and restoring the natural channel.
The proposed Federal Lands Access Program (FLAP) Sign Project proposes to replace existing signs and install new, thematic and interpretive signs throughout the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area.
The Forest Service is proposing geotechnical services which would involve excavation of up to four test pits within the existing Herman Creek campground and trailhead area.
This project restore lower gradient reaches and complex low-energy habitats for Coho and Fall Chinook rearing and spawning by restoring valley bottom reconnection. This is the second phase of comprehensive restoration on Woodard Creek.
The purpose of this project is to improve forest health, ecosystem resilience, and wildlife habitat while also reducing the risk of impacts from wildfire to communities adjacent to NFS lands. Proposed treatments include small diameter thinning, select tree release, and prescribed fire.
Replacement of the existing restroom and reduce deferred maintenance at the site. Along with the restroom replacement project will replace the existing kiosk, install a fee tube for collection of recreation use fees, and improve accessibility.
