The Nez Perce Tribe Watershed Division was awarded a Bureau of Reclamation grant to form a Collaborative group to discuss ways to improve water quality in the Little Salmon River watershed. This Collaborative group was funded to hold monthly meetings from June 2021 to November 2022.
What is the purpose of the LSRWC?
The purpose of the Little Salmon River Watershed Collaborative was to improve water quality in the Little Salmon River by engaging stakeholders across disciplines and land ownership boundaries.
Through exploring issues impacting water quality and understanding past restoration efforts, we decided to create:
- A website to house relevant information on the Little Salmon River and document what we have learned
- An interactive map that shows publicly available data to better understand this watershed
- A story map that takes a deeper look at restoration best management practices and efforts in the Little Salmon River watershed
