Celebrating the Return of the Nisqually Estuary


A celebration welcoming the return of the Nisqually estuary will be held at the Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge on November 12 beginning at 1:15 p.m. This event will highlight the largest estuary restoration in the Pacific Northwest. Nisqually Refuge, Ducks Unlimited and the Nisqually Indian Tribe worked tirelessly for more than 12 years with the help of many partners to restore 762 acres of estuary -- reconnecting it with the tides of Puget Sound.
