restoration work party in Silverdale with Mid-Sound Fisheries Enhancement Group Join People For Puget Sound and our partners at the Mid Sound Fisheries Enhancement Group to celebrate the completion of an amazing estuary restoration project on Barker Creek in Kitsap County. Mid Sound FEG was able to raise over half a million dollars to replace an undersized culvert with a 73-ft arched culvert that will allow natural tidal flow and fish passage into Barker Creek. We will be planting native vegetation in the area impacted by construction to begin to restore the natural forest canopy. For a close up look of this project, click here. This is a great time for installing plants, but come prepared for inclement weather for people.

Directions: Coming from North or South, head toward Silverdale on State Route 3. Take exit 45 (45b from the south), to NW Waaga Way. From the north you will turn left onto Waaga Way, and from the south you will be turning right. Turn right onto Silverdale Way NW, and then left onto NW Bucklin Hill Rd. You will see Dyes inlet to your right, and just after the inlet take the second right onto Tracyton Blvd. in about a mile your will see NW Barker Creek Road on the left, turn in there and park. The culvert and restoration event will be just a bit further down the road where Barker Creek passes under Tracyton Blvd.
