Over a century ago, Ohop Creek was ditched to drain the valley for dairy farming. While this helped farming thrive, it had huge implications for the native fisheries. The Nisqually Land Trust just completed the purchase of 45 acres of floodplain and over one-half mile of Ohop Creek shoreline, as part of its long-term restoration efforts in the watershed together with the Nisqually Indian Tribe and local, state, and federal partners.
