This project acquired and permanently protected ~35 acres of riverine tidal wetland and riparian habitat in the upper reaches of the Skagit estuary on the river's south fork, restored forest vegetation, and enhanced salmonid access to a riverine tidal wetland. The project area includes one of the largest and last remaining tracts of intact riverine tidal forest or riparian habitat left in the Skagit delta between Burlington and Conway, providing critical food resources, large woody debris, rearing and refuge habitat in the most modified section of the Skagit. Portions of the project area have been used in the recent past as pasture and for off-road motorcycle racing. Sediment deposition has impaired connectivity to an off-channel wetland. Acquisition will protect the area from further degradation and will allow restoration of riverine tidal habitats. The project is in the highest priority target area for the Skagit Watershed Council.
