Landingstrip Creek is a tributary of the South Fork of the Nooksack River and is habitat for coho and chum salmon, as well as winter steelhead and cutthroat trout.

Historically, land along Landingstrip Creek has been used for agriculture, and the creek was choked with reed canary grass and contained multiple fish passage barriers.

NSEA has been working alongside the Whatcom Land Trust to remove fish passage barriers and expand the riparian buffer to restore this salmon habitat.
