Ohop Creek Restoration
The Ohop Restoration project, funded by SRFB, USFWS, Nisqually Land Trust, Nisqually Tribe, and NRCS will correct historic ditching and draining of a one-mile reach of Lower Ohop Creek, one of two major tributaries to the Nisqually River. A new channel will be constructed to recreate a sinuous stream that is connected to the floodplain, the floodplain will be replanted with native vegetation, and the formerly ditched channel will be backfilled and planted. Construction on the Ohop project is scheduled to begin in 2009, but will continue in phases for years to come. WRIA 11.
