Stream Habitat Restoration
Whatcom CD supports landowners of all sizes in Whatcom County with fish bearing streams in aquatic management. Whatcom CD specialists can provide planning, permitting assistance, funding, and can assist with the implementation and maintenance of restoration projects that improve fish habitat.
Fish Passage Barrier Removal
Instream improvements we assist with include fish passage barrier removal. This usually is the removal of culverts and replacement with fish friendly bridges.
Riparian Restoration
Riparian (or streamside) habitat improvements that we assist with are invasive species removal and native species planting.
Habitat Restoration Planning & Technical Assistance
Most restoration begins with a free, confidential and non-regulatory site visit. Whatcom CD staff will meet with you at your property, walk the land with your, and listen to your plans and goals for your property. Staff can then assist with resources to help you reach your goals.
