North Fork Marsh was inventoried in the early 2000’s and documented as a high-priority conservation property by the Siuslaw Watershed Partnership. Historic use of the property by Coho Salmon, Chinook Salmon, Pacific lamprey and sea-run cutthroat trout has been documented, and present use is likely.
Through permanent protection, ongoing monitoring, and land stewardship, this special area ensures that the fish and wildlife habitat values of this area can remain available to these important fish species.
