Dale Reiner was a pioneer in river restoration and supporter of floodplain farmland, and arranged for the sale of his 260 acre family farm in the Lower Skykomish Floodplain to the Washington Farmland Trust and Tulalip Tribes upon his death.
Notes
- The Reiner Farm is located at the head of Haskell Slough in the Lower Skykomish Floodplain across the river from Al Borlin Park
- Restoration of river flow through Haskell Slough to improve fish habitat has been a subject of restoration planning since before 2000.
- https://wafarmlandtrust.org/our-work/protected-farms/reiner-farm/ - Washington Farmland Trust description of the Reiner Farm Acquisition project
- File:Cereghino 2022 preliminary Reiner buffer assessment.pdf - provides a rapid assessment of the Tulalip Tribes buffer parcels for the purpose of developing Native Riparian Agroforestry pilots.
- The Haskell Slough Levee on the east side of the property is managed by Snohomish County, and prevents the river from reoccupying the Haskell Slough levee.
- Tulalip Tribes completed an extensive cultural resources survey effort in preparation for restoration activity, and to meet NHPA and State requirements.
- Reiner farm is part of Skykmomish Watershed Knotweed Control efforts, and so work there is informing some adaptive management planning on the Knotweed Control Working Page
Chronology
- 1996 - The Reiner property is the site of a river avulsion during the floods of 1996, spreading sand and gravel across many areas of the farm, which led to the prototype installation of Flood Fencing. Subsequence racking of wood has reduced river flow along that avulsion pathway during flood.
- 1999 - visit by candidate George Bush Jr. profiling voluntary stewardship.
- 2002-2003 - Initial underplanting of conifers by Dale Reiner.
- 2018 - Acquisition of Reiner Farm by Washington Farmland Trust
- 2022 Fall - Site of the first Biocultural Restoration Field Station
