Skagit Land Trust has been working for several years with its partners in the Skagit Watershed Council to protect significant areas of salmon habitat along the middle reaches of the Skagit River. The Day Creek Conservation Area is the second property protected through these efforts.

This property includes floodplain, woodlands, fishery resources, and open space. Our goal is to maintain and restore acquatic habitat and to maintain the pasture for elk by mowing and controlling exotic vegetation.

The Skagit Land Trust purchased this property in 2003 with help from the Salmon Recovery Funding Board.
