Wetlands and Riparian Habitat

A salmon-bearing creek winds through the bottomlands of Wild Thyme Farm. Reforesting riparian buffer zones and creating ponds and wetlands are ongoing projects to enhance the aquatic community.

East Bank: The Eastern Wetlands

An ongoing expression of landscape art, creating a variety of wetland environments. The farm's eastern watershed drains through the ravine in front of the farmhouse, passing under the driveway through a culvert before it enters the creek.

West Bank: Kundalini Stream and the Pasture Ponds

Turning a water problem into a beautiful landscape feature that benefits wildlife and keeps our waters clear. A small perennial stream drains the farm's western watershed, crossing 500 feet of flat pastureland before it enters a much larger creek.
