A ‘Watershed Moment’ for Amazon Creek:
Amazon creek is home to heron, otter, amphibians, insects, native fish like sculpins, and about 159,000 Eugenians, but where are the trout? When the seasonal flows are right, native cutthroat trout are knocking at the door of Amazon Creek where it meets Fern Ridge Reservoir and the Long Tom River. But the creek isn’t quite ready yet. After four years of success working to improve Amazon Creek water quality through voluntary low impact development with commercial partners, we see a community willing to take the next step toward a trout friendly Amazon Creek, but we need your help.
Please lend your support toward this vision for a future of seasonal Cutthroat trout swimming through the heart of Eugene. Can you imagine it? We can, and so can the hungry otter and heron already patrolling its banks. The trout are the most sensitive aquatic members of our potential urban creek community. The Long Tom Watershed Council wants to make them feel welcome with a cleaner Amazon Creek.
