Duckabush River

This corridor along the Duckabush River protects important spawning and rearing habitat for endangered salmon and numerous other species that have relied on it for thousands of years. It is also a link between the marine waters of Hood Canal and the mountains and watersheds of Olympic National Forest. Jefferson Land Trust has been working for several years to protect and restore the river corridor.
