The Cascade River Riparian Restoration Site is an approximately 112 acre site adjacent to the south bank of the Cascade River. The site is a conservation property owned by The Nature Conservancy. The mainstem Cascade River is part of the Skagit Wild and Scenic River Cooridor, which was designated by Congress in 1978. There is an emphasis on maintaining free-flowing unpolluted waters, limited road access, a shoreline and river corridor with limited development, free-ranging wildlife, and outstanding scenery. The Cascade River is a tributary to the Skagit, which has it's confluence at town of Marblemount. The Cascade River contains chinook, coho, chum, and pink salmon as well as sea-run and resident populations of cutthroat, rainbow, steelhead, bull trout and Dolly Varden. The objective for restoration at this site includes enhancing floodplain structural and biological diversity and conifer abundance to improve salmon and wildlife habitat.

Skagit Fisheries Enhancement Group (SFEG) contracted with The Nature Conservancy through a National Fish and Wildlife Foundation Community Salmon Grant to implement restoration activities on the site. This included planting and non-native invasive plant control. The site was planted in the spring of 2008 and in the fall of 2008.
