Osborn - EF Walker Creek R12

Organization	Skagit Watershed Council Lead Entity
Sponsor	Skagit Fisheries Enhancement Group
Status	Completed
Schedule	Start Date: 9/1/2014 End Date: 12/9/2015

DESCRIPTION

In 2015, SFEG worked with a small forest landowner to correct a fish passage barrier on the East Fork of Walker Creek. The undersized 36-inch culvert was replaced with a 60-foot long bridge. East Fork Walker Creek supports coho, steelhead and resident cutthroat trout, and is accessible to juvenile Chinook salmon inhabiting mainstem Walker Creek just downstream. The project was being funded by the Washington Department of Natural Resources Family Forest Fish Passage Program (FFFPP). In 2016, following replacement of the culvert, thirty-nine coho carcasses and 11 redds were counted in the 0.5 miles survey reach just upstream of this project. SFEG and the landowner are also working together to restore approximately 2.5 acres of riparian habitat adjacent to the East Fork of Walker Creek.
