The project will facilitate the closure of a failing road segment, improve 4.4 miles of nearby infrastructure for flood control and resilience, and restore 73 acres of tidal wetland habitat along the Tillamook River.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Tillamook Estuaries Partnership is thrilled to receive this award to develop preliminary designs for ecosystem restoration and infrastructure improvements along Burton-Fraser Road.&nbsp; This project in the Tillamook River watershed will permanently protect and restore 73 acres of tidal wetlands and benefit 17 federally and\/or state recognized species. In addition, these designs will provide a safe and sustainably designed \u201clifeline\u201d road, that is situated where it won\u2019t be impacted by nuisance flooding, high tides, or increased frequency of storms. We appreciate Senators Wyden and Merkley championing resilience for rural communities,\u201d&nbsp;said Claudine Rehn, Deputy Director of Tillamook Estuaries Partnership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information about TEP\u2019s Tillamook River restoration project, go to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tbnep.org\/project\/tillamook-river-wetlands\/\">https:\/\/www.tbnep.org\/project\/tillamook-river-wetlands\/<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tillamook County Pioneer Washington D.C.\u2014U.S. Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley today announced a federal investment of $1.18 million for the Tillamook Estuaries Partnership to help fix the Burton-Fraser Road along the Tillamook River that is limiting fish passage. \u201cLetting our infrastructure crumble over time to a point where it hurts the environment is unacceptable, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20936","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-in-the-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Wyden, Merkley Announce Nearly $1.2 Million for Ecosystem Restoration in Oregon;
