Snohomish County
The Watershed Company provided environmental services to the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance in support of their effort to create a 20-mile non-motorized trail system in unincorporated Snohomish County. Looking to avoid impacting the ecology of two particular Forestry-zoned parcels, DNR desired an extensive inventory and analysis of the wetlands, wildlife, and vegetation of the 80-acre area. Our multidisciplinary staff of arborists and ecologists conducted a thorough and efficient review and helped DNR develop a regulatory compliant trail design that showcased the land’s natural beauty while protecting its wetlands and streams.
