This project will acquire fee simply interest in 2-5 properties where habitat restoration projects are planned. This project addresses the limiting factors of habitat diversity, temperature and sediment load by acquiring key restoration properties and keeping them in conservation status perpetually inorder to fully control and restore key salmon habitat structures. Possible sites include the Todd Creek confluence, the junction of Caron Creek and Tawes Creek, property near Standard Creek confluence and the confluence of Hardscrabble Creek. These sites have been discussed in the South Fork Nooksack River Acme-Confluence Reach Restoration Planning: Analysis of Existing Information and Preliminary Restoration Strategies as possible locations of large, instream woody log jams. Other sites include wetland and potential properties that will support the Lower South Fork Wetland Water Storage Improvement project. Acquisition of these sites will provide willing landowner support for construction, monitoring and maintenance of the restoration projects.
