Local land managers contacted Wahkiakum CD to request assistance reducing bank erosion on a fish-bearing stream on their property to improve instream fish habitat.
Wahkiakum CD rose to the occasion, helping the land managers design, permit, and fund the installation of wood-based structures along the stream banks to prevent further erosion and restore riparian habitat.
The project was funded through SCC's Salmon Recovery Funding.
Thank you, Wahkiakum Conservation District, for your hard work and dedication to helping land managers in your community address local natural resource concerns.

With 400+ acres of riparian restoration planned, the project is already helping to reduce flooding and improve the river's health.
