Deer Creek Survey

With funding from the Washington Dept. of Natural Resources through their Jobs for the Environment program, Washington Trout will continue stream typing and culvert assessments in the upper Deer Creek watershed within the Mt. Baker/Snoqualmie National Forest.

This will complete a project begun in 1996 to analyze culverts for fish passage problems and re-type fish bearing tributaries within the entire Deer Creek basin, the most important summer steelhead spawning tributary system of the North Fork of the Stillaguamish, one of the most important in the state. The completion of this project will be another step in the recovery of this damaged but still vital system.
