Highlighting a Partnership that Benefits Fish, Wildlife and Habitat
As part of Native American Heritage Month, we want to highlight our successful partnership with the Stillaguamish Tribe and the restoration of the 83 acre farm along the Old Mainstem Stillaguamish river. The 'Zis A Ba' property has been restored to its former tidal influence and in the spring, juvenile salmon will find this newly restored nursery as they make their way out of the river, gaining size and strength before they face the Pacific Ocean.
