Riparian Restoration – Tree Planting
A partnership with North Olympic Salmon Coalition
Every Autumn, vegetation needs to be planted and maintained to ensure good salmon returns continue. This vegetation provides much needed shade to the stream, and keeps the water cool.

Have you ever wondered how much water runs off your roof? During a typical moderate storm of 1″ of rain during a 24 hour period, over 700 gallons of water will run off the average roof, an impervious area of about 1,200 square feet. That same roof will shed over 15,000 gallons of water this winter. Add up the roofs of Port Townsend, and we’re talking a lot of water.
