Celebrating Restoration on Resurrection Creek

Kinross Gold and Trout Unlimited on Aug. 13 celebrated a successful partnership with the U.S. Forest Service and National Forest Foundation to do restoration on Resurrection Creek in Hope. They teamed up with Hope Mining Company, which operates downstream, to reclaim the historically mined acreage which resulted in increased salmon numbers and species this year. The creek draws vast schools of pink salmon each July, and is a very popular spot for Alaska families introducing kids to salmon fishing. For video footage and more about the partnership, see resurrectioncreek.org. Representatives from Kinross Gold, Trout Unlimited Alaska, the U.S. Forest Service Regional and the State help cut the ribbon on the restoration project at Resurrection Creek in Hope.
