French Creek is the home of three anadromous fish including the Coho Salmon (an endangered species) rearing and spawning in French Creek.
French Creek is a beautiful mountain stream that is one of the primary creeks draining from the Northern California's eastern slope of the Russian Wilderness. It joins Scott River, which then flows into the Klamath River and runs unimpeded all the way to the Pacific Ocean.
Irrigation: French Creek is a high priority for critical period water purchases by the Scott River Water Trust. During the summer ranches use the water from French Creek to irrigate their fields.
Deer: The property proposed for rezoning is located in a critical deer wintering agea.

The Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), our national symbol and one of North America's largest birds, weighs about 8 to 14 pounds and has a wingspan of 6½ to 8 feet. Females are larger than males, and birds of northern states and provinces tend to be larger than those from the southern portions of the breeding range. Adults are dark brown with a pure white head and tail. Younger birds are mostly brown, mottled with varying amounts of white. They acquire their adult plumage at 4 or 5 years of age.
