Skagit County worked with the Skagit Fisheries Enhancement Group (SFEG) to restore unimpeded fish access to Davis Slough. Davis Slough is an off-channel habitat feature associated with the Middle Skagit River floodplain that is located near river mile 41, east of the Day Creek Community. Reconnecting Davis Slough provided access to 4.5 acres of high quality rearing habitat and 4,000 feet of low gradient tributary habitat. An undersized culvert where the slough crossed the South Skagit Highway had impeded fish access; the culvert was replaced with a 60-foot long bridge in 2014. The project also excluded cattle and restored riparian vegetation along 0.4 miles of a swale that feeds water from Marietta Creek into the slough. Riparian restoration activities included clearing invasive weeds, constructing a fence that excluded livestock, planting trees and maintaining the 3.5 acres of newly planted habitat plus approximately 25 acres of existing riparian buffer. Skagit County donated labor for project management and construction oversight for the bridge construction.
