And, at last, after our crew opened the Berry Creek Ditch on Saturday, water flows again from Berry Creek, along the side of the mountain, to Canyon Creek, as it has been doing since 1852. This year, about 300 hours of work required to deal with issues, most of them fire-related after-effects we've never had to deal with before.

Replacing old, leaky pipe ...

Fire after-effects, landslides and fallen trees everywhere. Here, crushed pipe being replaced on trestle.

This winter was brutal for the Berry Creek Ditch, as all winters have all been since the fire.

After we get fallen trees, limbs, landslides and berry vines removed, at the bare minimum, before we can convey water, we’ll need to:
1) Remove and replace a 20’ section of steel pipe on a trestle that was crushed by a dead-fall tree.
2) Remove and replace 40’ of 24" corrugated steel pipe that has completely rusted through.
3) Put new pipe onto a newly built trestle and water-tight both ends (photos below).
4) Lay somewhere between 60’ and 100’ of new pipe north of the trestle and pipe we installed last year. (Windblown treefall roots pulled up the embankment so it won’t hold water).
5) Repair a breach where a concrete clean-out destabilized and fell completely out of the ditch, leaving a giant gash in the ditch.

Grateful for the California Conservation Corps again in 2026!
