Improving salmon habitat is the primary way Skagit Fisheries Enhancement Group seeks to enhance salmon resources. Habitat loss and environmental degradation continue to threaten the cold, clean, clear water salmon need to survive.
Our projects are designed to improve and protect local watersheds by
- Restoring native riparian forest and marine shorelines
- Improving fish passage
- Reconnecting and enhancing off-channel habitats
- Stewardship of lands dedicated to conservation
To support this work, SFEG works with dedicated volunteers to maintain a native plant nursery. We also engage volunteers to assist with project implementation and monitoring.
We work with and offer assistance to local landowners to provide solutions that benefit both people and local ecosystems because it’s about so much more than just salmon! A healthy watershed environment supports all our favorite local wildlife such as eagles, otter, amphibians, bears, and song birds.
