To restore salmon and steelhead access to up to 70 miles of high quality habitat, help recover Endangered Species Act listed coho salmon and build on the growing Rogue River recreational river economy by removing two obsolete dams, the fourth and eight worst fish passage barriers in Oregon, from Evans Creek, a major Rogue River tributary in Southern Oregon.
