2016 Skookumchuck River Riparian Project
In 2016 the ranch started planning out the largest conservation project to date at that time: Fencing off 7,800 feet of the Skookumchuck river for exclusion of livestock, planting 4,000+ native trees and shrubs, and installing an off grid solar livestock watering system.
2020 Blocking Fish Creek Culvert Replaced
This culvert was blocking historic up-stream sponing grounds for wild fish coming out of the Skookumchuck river. The culvert was replaced by a full fish accessible bridge.
2022 Prairie Restoration
30+ acres of prairie that had been overrun with invasive plants such as scotch broom and Himalayan blackberry was mulched and allowed historic seed bank to germinate.
2024 Skookumchuck River Project
Two miles of the Skookumchuck river that flows through the ranch will receive over 50 engineered log jams, totaling over 1,000 pieces of wood installed for fish habitat and riparian erosion control.
