DESCRIPTION

The Thomas Creek Native Planting project is located northwest of Burlington along F & S grade road. The objective of the project was to restore riparian habitat adjacent to Thomas Creek with the removal of invasive species and the planting of new native ones.

This project included the removal of Himalayan blackberries and other invasive species as well as the planting of 87 native trees and shrubs in the riparian area adjacent to Thomas Creek. Site maintenance of this project will continue through 2014.

Final designs and permit documents were developed for this project as part a Department of Ecology grant (WA120309-6-5). The Thomas Creek Native Planting design project was lead by Skagit County Public Works (SCPW) in partnership with Skagit Fisheries Enhancement Group (SFEG) with the goal of design and permitting restoration actions to improve riparian habitat.
