DESCRIPTION
The Stillaguamish Tribe acquired the Tree Farm Hole property, located on the North Fork Stillaguamish River (~RM 20.5) outside of Arlington in Snohomish County. The total project protected 136 acres of floodplain forest, 5,000+ feet of North Fork Stillaguamish shoreline, and over 3,000 feet of side channel from timber harvest and rural development. Riparian restoration included weed treatment and native planting where the building foundations were removed. In addition to contributing to the acquisition cost, matching funds were also used for installation of fencing and a gate to secure the site. Identified as a priority area for riparian and floodplain restoration/protection in the 2005 Chinook Recovery Plan, this property provides some of the best instream and riparian habitat on the North Fork with high quality spawning and rearing areas for Chinook salmon, as well as Pink, Coho, Chum, Bull trout, and Steelhead. Protecting these parcels while eliminating illegal fishing access (currently a problem) makes significant progress towards the 10-year acquisition goals in the Stillaguamish Chinook Plan. The Stillaguamish Tribe is providing seasonal public access for legal fishing and wildlife viewing. The Stillaguamish Tribe used 2010, 2011 and 2012 Federal PCSRF funding awarded by the NWIFC to match the Federal PCSRF and State PSAR funding awarded by the SRFB in 2011 and 2012. The Stillaguamish Tribe prorated the habitat metrics to align to the respective funding shares provided by NWIFC and SRFB so as not to double count project accomplishments. However, because PRISM requires match, the cost metrics in PRISM include the NWIFC funding, as noted in the final report.
