Pond Restorations #891723

Asked January 19, 2025, 4:40 PM EST

Hello! I have ~3/4 acre pond created in mid 1900's that is in desperate need of some restoration work. Wood Ducks and Mallards nest here, but due to state's dipping into it during wildfire fighting a few years ago, it went way low then started leaking when it fills. It needs tree removals, brush clearing, some mucking, and new overflow pipe excavated in, and someone knowledgeable about ponds to plan and execute! I'm in Josephine County near Pickett Creek. Do you have suggestions on who or where to find expertise doing this kind of work here in OR? THANKS!
