DESCRIPTION
This project has two components: restoration of a 3.5 acre property that conducts water from seeps along I-5 to Red Salmon Creek and contains springs that drain to Red Salmon Creek; and outreach to neighboring landowners about controlling the non-native, invasive plant species that have been removed from the lower reaches of the streams in the Red Salmon Watershed. The Land Trust will work with partners to implement an outreach program to inform neighboring upstream landowners about the impacts of English Ivy, Himalayan blackberry, and other invasive species that are commonly used for landscaping purposes and found in the watershed. Restoration activities will include removal of debris and extensive areas of English ivy, Himalayan blackberry and other invasive species from the 3.5 acre property; and planting of native trees and shrubs on the property.
