This project acquired 42.27 acres of farmland within the riverine tidal wetland range of the Skagit estuary and generates a 90% design for restoration of the land to channel, scrub-shrub, forested wetland, and tributary junction habitats critical for chinook and coho juvenile rearing. In addition, this project assesses ecosystem functions supplied by the Fisher Slough subbasin, including hydrology and geomorphology, and provides conceptual alternatives for addressing high priority problems. The project site is adjacent to Fisher Slough, a tributary tidal slough of the Skagit River's south fork. In addition to the Skagit, Fisher Slough receives flows from three coho-bearing tributaries (Carpenter, Big Fisher and Little Fisher). The project was proposed by the landowner, a farmer who desires to provide an opportunity for habitat and farm interests to cooperate on a mutually beneficial project. These mutual benefits include additional habitat for Chinook and designs for a restoration project that when implemented will alleviate flooding on farmlands located upstream. The Nature Conservancy, Dike District 3 and Skagit County are the project's principal implementation partners. This is a project of the Greater Skagit Delta Initiative whose members include Skagit Watershed Council, Skagitonians to Preserve Farmland, the Trust for Public Land and The Nature Conservancy. Additional partners will include Skagit River System Cooperative, Skagit Conservation District and Drainage District 17.
