But road building and clearcutting in the park clearly is not addressing what is best for wildlife needs and what Mildred wanted. Some of the park's expenses include the up-keep of the picnic area, the salary of the caretaker and the caretaker's residence costs. Perhaps an additional source of income could be from the federal government. Another reason the Fish and Wildlife might be interested are the valuable wetlands in the park . Perhaps an additional source of income could be from the state.
Bachelor Creek is a fish bearing stream, but it's stream banks are eroding.
Currently there is a lease to graze livestock. The Oregon Salmon Restoration Initiative is trying to find projects to fund to restore fish bearing creeks, and Calapooya Creek is a top priority for them. Bachelor Creek flows into Calapooya Creek. This could be potential funding of fish habitat restoration. I'm sure Mildred would love it.
