Snake River By: Curtiss Franklin DuBois & Kenneth Alan Rowe

Info The Snake River Flows from Washington to Wyoming. It’s 1,038 miles long. Was once know as the Lewis river in honor of Lewis and Clarks expedition.

Plants Some of the plants that are in the Snake River area is wheatgrass and sagebrush steppe. Wheatgrass or Elymus wawawaiensis is a native to the area. Wheatgrass is highly valuable and grows up to 4 feet tall.

Plants Cont. Sagebrush steppe is a dry grass most abundant in dry climates. The sagebrush that covered over 51% is being lost from fires its caused the plant to disappear.

People People that live near Snake River enjoy fishing and rafting and outdoor actives. The residents have created a camping area for people called Friends of Snake River.

Endangered “Endangered" or "threatened" species are under the Endangered Species Act. This action brought the total of endangered salmon and steelhead listings by NMFS in Washington to 13. NMFS had listed six others between 1992 and In addition, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service added two populations of Bull Trout in November 1999 to four it had listed in In June 2005 the Lower Columbia Coho was added as a threatened specie.

Man’s Impact They are endangered because there are dams throughout the river. They take water from the snake river and feed it to their crops. The river has low water levels in Idaho for about forty miles

Interesting Facts Hells Canyon in Snake River has the greatest gorges of the snake river and runs for one hundred and twenty-five miles. It has a depth of seven- thousand and nine hundred feet. Louis and Clark used the snake river when they were exploring the west of the Americas!!!!!!!!!!!

Things To Help They could take out the dams in the river to let the salmon swim freely and flourish. The can also regulate how much water they use for irrigation purposes.

Helping the Environment The NOAA (National Oceanic Atmospheric Association) supports the Sockeye Salmon with 7 evolutionally significant units. The ENS has efforts to preserve the salmon of the Snake River.

Student’s Ideas Clean up after them selves and conserve energy. Use only what they need not what they want. We can walk places now or ride a bike.
