Join us in partnership with Skagit County Parks and several others for a fun-filled day at Howard Miller Steelhead Park in Rockport. This site has had many restoration transformations by SFEG over the past 10 years including riparian restoration through the mechanical (herbicide-free) removal of non-native invasive plants, planting of native trees by staff, volunteers and students, creation of interpretive signs along the trails. More recently we’ve installed two foot bridges and restored a stream channel to help improve critical habitat for juvenile salmon rearing.
Celebrate Earth Day 2017 with educational and service oriented activities that include removing plant protectors, a demonstration of juvenile fish surveys, archaeological presentations, and more! We want our volunteers and guests to understand, connect, and be involved in the environment on an ecological level.
Everything is connected; come find out how!

Mission Statement
Our mission is to build partnerships that educate and engage the community in habitat restoration and watershed stewardship in order to enhance slamonid populations
Description
The Skagit Fisheries Enhancement Group (SFEG) is a private, non-profit organization working to protect and enhance salmon resources in the Skagit and Samish River watersheds. Through the hard work of our volunteers we have been recognized as a local leader in salmon restoration. Our goals are achieved through education, restoration and community involvement. As a non-governmental organization, cooperation is enhanced with local landowners, conservation groups, government agencies and tribes. We are one of 12 regional fisheries enhancement groups in Washington state that are part of a coordinated effort to educate and involve the public in salmon enhancement activities across the state at the community level.
