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.

Generations of farming along Hangman Creek have faced erosion and water quality challenges. Through a partnership between the Spokane and Pine Creek Conservation Districts and the Washington State Department of Ecology, local landowners are restoring natural stream channels, planting native vegetation, and stabilizing creek banks, all while keeping working lands productive. Together, they’re proving that voluntary conservation benefits both farms and fish.
