Highlight
Mason CD excels in its Shore Friendly Mason program, linking waterfront residents with the technical support and resources needed to make informed, cost-effective and environmentally-friendly decisions about shoreline management.Â
Their Southern Hood Canal Riparian Enhancement Program, in collaboration with the Mason County Noxious Weed Control Board and Hood Canal Coordinating Council, has received funding from the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office for assessment, inventory, and subsequent treatment for invasive vegetation plaguing riparian areas of Hood Canal watersheds. Mason CD’s Biochar Study includes trial sites that were treated with two types of biochar, planted with a cover crop and then seeded with winter squash.Â
