This is a quick look at an intergovernmental/private money project to restore the riparian area  along sections of the Nooksack River  just outside Bellingham, Washington.  This area, which is prime wetland habitat, had been poorly used for many years.  It is home to many species of duck, overwintering area for Trumpeter Swans and Snow Geese, and had badly trashed small streams.  The streams have been repaired, with current interrupting log jams, and many riparian trees have been planted.  A good sign is that the beavers have returned.

You can see the number of agencies involved in this project.

This is an overall view of the project.

 Thanks for looking.
