Recently Ducks Unlimited and the NRCS, working with a number of private landowners, have secured conservation easements and completed substantial floodplain restoration on over 1000 acres within the French Creek Watershed of the Snohomish River Basin. DU is currently seeking funds to complement this large scale restoration effort, by incorporating approximately 88 acres of riparian plantings along recently restored main channel and associated floodplain wetland habitat. Proposed riparian plantings will occur on three distinct, but contiguous parcels; Cripple Creek ~80acres of restored riparian areas, French Creek ~4acres of additional riparian plantings, Mallard Marsh ~4acres of riparian restoration. Through this proposal, funds are being sought for site prep, materials (trees/shrubs/herbivory protection) and labor for this riparian restoration effort.
