The document discusses the restoration of the Anderson Property in Eatonville, Washington. It begins by describing the indigenous Nisqually Tribe who traditionally lived in the area and relied on salmon. European settlers later cleared vegetation and altered creeks. The property owners are now working to restore the natural habitat through various activities like replanting native trees and installing engineered log jams. Their goal is to reestablish a healthy riparian zone that provides suitable habitat for salmon and other wildlife.

- Western Redcedar: Has reddish-brown scaly bark, has overlapping scale-like needles and can grow up to 200 feet tall. Almost ALL of the wooden shingles in the U.S. are made of western red cedar. Red Elderberry:
- Indian Plum: Is usually the first plant to sprout leaves in the spring and you can identify them by the smell of their leaves! If you rub a leaf together in your fingers it smells like cucumbers! Indian plum is an important early spring plant for hummingbirds, moths, bees and butterflies. Doug Fir: Can grow up to 300 feet tall. Protects its seeds with “pitchforks” (see image) to discourage animals from harvesting them.
- Bitter Cherry: The fruits are edible, but bitter so best used in jams. Also food source for birds and small mammals. Green and dark grey dyes can be made from the leaves and fruits. Nootka Rose: Bright, pink flowers grow in groups of 2-10 and bear fruit or “rose hips.” These attract and provide food for birds and mammals and are a good source of vitamin C.
- Grand Fir: At sea level it grows with Douglas Fir and is one of the most common of Washington’s true firs. It can grow to 170 feet tall. Big Leaf Maple: Each maple leaf is 8-12 inches across and can live to be 200 years old! The seeds are an important seed source for squirrels and birds.
- Cascara Fact: Cascara is deciduous and can grow as a shrub up to 15 feet or a small tree 50 feet. Natives used cascara as a medicine to wash wounds and swelling. Oceanspray Facts: Provides cover and protection for small mammals, birds and tree frogs. Pioneers used the wood as pegs instead of nails.
- Snowberry: Reproduces mainly by it’s spreading rhizomes and is an important food source for birds, small mammals and deer. Tall Oregon Grape: Can grow to be 6 feet tall. The berries attract lots of birds and can be used to make jelly. The plants bark can also be used to make a bright yellow dye.
