A stream south of Fort Bragg is getting a new name, removing an old name that was considered offensive. The stream is now called Stanley Creek in homor Clyde Stanley, a lifelong Fort Bragg resident who made substantial contributions to his community as a World War II Army veteran and the first Chairman of the Sherwood Valley Tribe. Caltrans District 1 Senior Environmental Specialist Clancy De Smet says it a fitting name that recognizes Indigenous heritage during continued efforts for visibility and representation. It is part of a Caltrans-initiated stream restoration project along Route 1 near Tregoning Drive. The project involves replacing a box culvert with a full-span bridge to improve fish passage using accelerated construction methods and will follow California Fish and Wildlife and NOAA Fisheries Service guidelines.
