In the future, the project will restore Canyon Creek from its current ditch-like state to a natural, meandering channel designed to support fish. In-channel habitat structures, like root wads and logs, will be added to provide stream complexity and habitat for wildlife. The land surrounding the new stream will be restored to a forested wetland that will one day provide shade to Canyon Creek \u2013 supporting the long-term goal of restoring salmon habitat to the area.<\/p>\n<p>Please get in touch if you have any questions about our environmental priorities or this harvesting opportunity. <strong>We hope to see you there!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/piercecountygleaningproject.org\/index.php\"><strong>You can register to volunteer with Harvest Pierce County here<\/strong><\/a>.
