The Skykomish Bio-cultural Restoration Field Station is a volunteer-driven stewardship program developed by The Ecosystem Guild and supported by Snohomish Conservation District and NOAA Restoration Center and Tulalip Tribes of Washington as a prototype for the vision of a network of Bio-Cultural Restoration Field Stations in the Salish Sea. Stewardship groups can gather and camp on conservation lands in the Lower Skykomish Floodplain to design, install and tend riparian forests, experimenting within a Regenerative Riverscape Agroforestry framework.
