Engaging our community in restoring salmon in the Skagit watershed through restoration, education, and stewardship.

Together, over the past 35 years, we have:

Planted over 525,000 native plants along more than 61 miles of streams and shorelines, improving water quality, providing shade, and a place for young salmon to hide from predators

Built over 57,000 feet of livestock fencing to improve water quality and reduce bank erosion

Engaged over 24,600 children in hands-on environmental science education programs, learning about salmon and the importance of watershed environments

Opened over 105 miles of habitat for salmon and steelhead by removing 77 culvert crossings that blocked fish migration

Riparian Restoration is for the Birds| Project 1 of 30

Beginning in about 2006, SFEG’s habitat restoration at Howard Miller Steelhead Park has consisted of stream channel restoration, installation of two footbridges, eradication of invasive plants, and thousands of native plants planted with the help of hundreds of volunteers. Wandering clockwise along the loop trail (the Wetland Wildlife Trail on the park map) on a recent sunny dawn, chickadees and spotted towhees could be seen and heard busily chattering in the dense thicket of native shrubs along the Skagit River.
