Forterra is seeking funding to protect the 34-acre Whitehorse property located on the North Fork of the Stillaguamish River near Darrington. The northeastern portion of the property contains a historic oxbow and straddles 6 acres of riparian habitat on both sides of the Stillaguamish River. Just upstream from Squire Creek, the property supports federally-listed endangered Chinook salmon and Bull Trout, as well as steelhead, pink, coho, chum, sockeye, and cutthroat. The remainder of the site consists of second-growth, multi-story forest including cedars, Douglas fir, hemlock, and large snags with active use by pileated woodpeckers and other cavity-nesters. The property borders state trust land along its entire east side and half of its north side, and the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest is a short distance to the north. The Whitehorse Trail cuts through the property and will allow passive recreation opportunities for local and regional visitors. Funding will allow Forterra to facilitate the purchase of the property on behalf of Snohomish County Parks. The County will be responsible for long term maintenance and future restoration activities.
