This Month's Giving Highlight. 

Queets River

Queets Estuary

In 2007, Forterra conserved this 45 acre estuary at the mouth of the Queets River on the Pacific Coast of Jefferson County. The Queets River is one of the few rivers in the U.S. that is undammed and undiked from its headwaters to its mouth. For three years, Forterra has been tackling six acres of invasive knotweed, reducing it to 1.5 acres in 2010, and replanting two acres on the riverbank to prevent erosion. The property is used by migratory birds, elk and deer and streamside restoration will improve water quality and habitat.
