Still Waters Farm: Wood Ducks, Trees, and Restoration Ecology
March 14, 2020 @ 9:00 am-11:00 am
Still Waters Farm is a 48-acre tree farm with a 20-acre peat wetland system, certified sustainable by the American Tree Farm System (ATFS) and the Forest Stewardship Council( FSC). The farm has a 20-acre peat wetland system that has been disturbed at least twice in its history; much work has been done to restore this wetland and to enhance the wetland habitat. Projects have been completed with USFWS, WDFW, NRCS, WA DNR, and Mason Conservation District. We have a very successful nest box program and host large numbers of Wood Ducks, Hooded Mergansers, swallows, and others.
