Te Northshore Chapter of Trout Unlimited has an ongoing project to protect and restore the lower portions of Barr Creek so that it can be utilized by spawning salmon and steelhead, and for overwintering Coho and Steelhead Smolts. On March 11th, volunteers planted 400+ trees on the banks of Barr Creek to help prevent erosion of the streambed and to provide shade in the summer to help keep the water cool.

 > The Northshore Chapter of Trout Unlimited working with Coho salmon carcasses collected and prepared at the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Wallace River Salmon Hatchery, distributes the salmon carcasses in to tributary creeks of the North Fork of the Skykomish. It is hoped that the extra nutrients added to these creeks will help support larger and healthier populations of juvinile wild Coho Salmon and Steelhead that utilize these tributarires as winter habitat.
 > "Enhanced" Salmon Carcasses Adding Their Nutrients to  North Fork of the Skykomish Tributary. Carcasses are placed in back eddies and in softer water, so that they have the best chance to be utilized by local residents before water flows flush them in to the main current.
