As of May 28th 2010 Silver Creek is in a low water condition. The Wood River Drainage is experiencing a drought condition this Summer due to low snowpack last season. If we experience high daytime temperatures, Silver Creek will be stressed. The Nature Conservancy has hired Ecosystem Sciences, a non-profit Boise-based consulting firm, to develop a comprehensive plan to restore stretches of Silver Creek and its tributaries that need most help, and to use the restoration methods that will have the most conservation benefit. This is very exciting in that Silver Creek needs to be managed as a whole system and not as a piece here and there. You can learn more about this at this link. And as in the past SSC is deploying more thermometers the first of June to augment thermometers already deployed throughout the system. The new SSCMapping site is up and running and has had great reviews for it's in-depth mapping of past, present and thermal images. As usual we will strive to keep you informed was new developments present themselves.
