Do you have a section of stream on your property that needs improvement or restoration? Planting native trees and shrubs, improving fish passage, and restoring stream banks comes at no cost to you! Each field season, WRIG assists local landowners in making environmental improvements to their properties. Our management experience and professional network helps us connect landowners to a variety of resources, personnel, and environmental programs.
