Tamara Quays Tidal Marsh Restoration Project. Tamara Quays is the site of a former trailer park located in the Salmon River estuary, west of the intersection of Highway 101 and Highway 18. The Siuslaw National Forest purchased the site and worked with SDCWC, from 2007 through 2009, to restore Tamara Quays to a more natural state. Large wood has been placed where a former meander was cut off to form Kingfisher Lake, helping Rowdy Creek to return to its natural sinuous state as it transitions to the estuary.

Drift Creek, a tributary to the Siletz basin, provides important spawning and rearing habitat for native salmonids and contains populations of chinook and coho salmon, winter steelhead and cutthroat trout. Populations of these and other species have been significantly reduced over the past 60 years, as a result of timber harvest, road construction and other activities. To learn about current research on the biodiversity of Drift Creek, see this article. Photo courtesy of Conrad Gowell.
