    The Stone-Schraeder property is composed of three adjacent tax parcels, Parcel A and B, each 20 acres in size, and Parcel C, 25 acres in size. The property is located along both sides of Ten Mile Creek just west of the Everson Goshen Road. Ten Mile Creek is a long, low gradient tributary of the Nooksack River and an important salmon stream in Whatcom County.

    The course of Ten Mile Creek, formerly constricted to a straight drainage ditch, has been restored into a natural meander pattern on Parcel C. Large logs have been placed in the stream to improve salmon habitat. Three ponds have been constructed on the property, one along Ten Mile Creek on Parcel C as part of a salmon enhancement project and two adjacent to and south of Ten Mile Creek on Parcel A for waterfowl and wildlife habitat. The entire length of Ten Mile Creek on the property provides excellent habitat for fish and waterfowl.
