The Skagit Watershed Riparian Stewardship Project represented a partnership between SFEG and conservation landowners in the Skagit River basin, including the Skagit Land Trust, Seattle City Light, City of Mount Vernon, and The Nature Conservancy. The purpose of this project is to improve habitat and water quality for Chinook salmon and other species by continuing stewardship of native riparian and floodplain forest restoration projects that had previously been completed on a number of sites throughout the Skagit River watershed. Sites were identified based on the following criteria: 1) Located in floodplain areas adjacent to mainstem, side channel, or off-channel habitats that are likely to be used by Chinook salmon 2) Currently have limited or impaired native vegetation conditions, and typically contain invasive species 3) Located on public or conservation property. Overall the project controlled invasive weeds, replaced dead plants and removed outgrown plant protectors at 10 worksites encompassing 147.9 acres of riparian floodplain habitat. SFEG staff, crews, and volunteers installed 7,224 plants, including infill planting of one additional acre at the Cascade Boat Launch site. These activities improved habitat along 6.71 miles of streambank.
