The successful removal of an aging harmful dam and the restoration of Trout Creek in the lower Columbia River Gorge brought a community together. In the 1970s, the dam fell into disrepair and it was impairing water quality, habitat, and passage for Lower Columbia River steelhead. This project provided an excellent hands-on learning experience on restoring a wild river system.
