Our current plan

Though we are a young non-profit, our dedicated volunteers have already planted over 600 native trees to begin healing our local waterways. This is just the beginning of our commitment to reforesting the creeks and streams that are the lifeblood of our ecosystem.

To continue this vital work, we are seeking to partner with landowners whose properties include salmon-bearing streams. If you are interested in enhancing your land and contributing to the recovery of our local ecosystem, we would be honored to speak with you about a fully-funded restoration project.

Our Restoration Strategy

• Clear Invasive Plants: We begin by targeting and removing harmful, non-native species like Himalayan blackberry and reed canarygrass that choke out the native ecosystem.

• Establish a Native Canopy: We reforest the stream banks with a diverse mix of native trees and shrubs. As they grow, their canopy creates cooling shade for the water and naturally prevents the return of invasive weeds.

•Stabilize Eroding Banks: Using bioengineering techniques with native plants and natural materials, we rebuild and strengthen the creek's banks to prevent harmful erosion and protect the surrounding land.

• Enhance In-Stream Habitat: We strategically place logs and boulders to recreate the natural pools, riffles, and hiding places that are critical for the survival of young salmon and other aquatic wildlife.

Our initial project focuses on streams and creeks in Snohomish County, Washington.
