2008. Volunteers and Fisheries Biologist Ian Reid planting 900 Port-Orford cedar along Grayback Creek in southern Oregon to restore fish habitat and help with Phytophthora lateralis resistance validation.

Volunteers and Fisheries Biologist Ian Reid planting a resistant validation planting of 900 Port-Orford cedar along Grayback Creek in southern Oregon. This tree planting project hopes to help restore a riparian area used by salmon and steelhead and also work toward determining if resistance to root disease caused by Phytophthora lateralis is durable. Community groups involved with the planting include the Middle Rogue Steelheaders Trout Unlimited Chapter, Illinois Valley Watershed Council, The Nature Conservancy, Forestry Action Committee and Southern Oregon Fly Fishers.
