More than native plants are being planted where reservoirs created by the Klamath River dams once stood. As part of the years-long restoration, crews are planting thousands of live trees. And they’re also using dead trees, which are referred to as “large wood” in river restoration jargon by the Klamath River Renewal Corporation, which is overseeing the removal of the dams and restoration. Dead trees are being placed in tributaries to the Klamath. … Helicopters placed about 60 large wood trees in the Spencer Creek area south of Keno in the footprint of the John C. Boyle Dam on Monday and in the Beaver Creek tributary below the former Copco 1 Dam on Tuesday. Placing of the large wood trees at other tributaries to the Iron Gate Dam and areas exposed by the now free-flowing river is expected to be completed this week.
