Skagit River Delta

These images of the farms and estuaries in the Skagit River Delta were made for a feature in Orion Magazine. The delta sits at the center of: a vibrant farming community, who has tilled this land since their great grandparents built the first dikes generations ago; the Swinomish and other Skagit tribes, who champion the restoration of critical salmon habitat; and the local staff of The Nature Conservancy, who have carefully built bridges within the community through a number of groundbreaking projects.
