New growth along Elwha River riparian edge
In the riparian buffer at Wild Edge Farm we are seeing lots of healthy young trees that are coming up naturally along the Elwha River. This week for the areas that are suffering more from drought, we are planting 1000 new trees, primarily Douglas fir, Sitka spruce and western red cedar. Through the “Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program,” or CREP, the Clallam Conservation District is helping us to nurture and maintain 12.5 acres of wildlife enhancement areas on the edges of our farm and pasture land.
