The Quw’utsun People’s traditional home, a salmon nursery, a resting area or winter home for migratory waterfowl, and a refuge for many other endangered and common species call this biodiversity-rich watershed home. Their primary objective is to restore the watershed to enhance water quality, restore salmon populations to historical levels, and complete green pathways from mountain peaks to the sea. Beaver, Muskrat, Deer, River Otter, Raccoon, and the rare Black Bear or Roosevelt Elk all call Somenos home. This gorgeous conservation area has various walks and pathways to explore.
