Stream Stewards

Although the Nisqually River Watershed is blessed with a significant amount of good salmon habitat, there are still some areas in need of restoration. Many of the streams where salmon habitat could be restored flow through privately owned lands.

The Nisqually Tribe and the Nisqually River Council recognize that true long-lasting restoration and protection of salmon habitat will come about only through a community-based effort.

Who Are We?

The Nisqually Stream Stewards are people living in the Nisqually watershed who want to help protect and improve the health of our streams.

What Do We Do?

Nisqually Stream Stewards monitor the health of their local streams and help with projects that improve stream health, such as removing invasive grass from stream channels or planting trees along stream banks.
