When Mark and Beth Biser bought Still Waters Farm in 1990, the 48-acres in Mason County, Washington was a shell of its former self. Its 20 acres of wetlands had suffered two major disturbances. They immediately started working to improve the forest and the wetlands. They wrote a forest management plan and because certified by the American Tree Farm System in 1996. They built a house and harvested pine to make cabinets and flooring for the house. They supplied tight-grained Douglas-fir logs to rebuild CCC cabins at Millersylvania State Park, and a unique post box gathering point for the Somali community in Seattle.
By constructing a weir and with the assistance of a family of beavers, they raised the level of the water to create a beautiful open water wetland. 
The property is full of wood duck boxes and birdhouses of all types and has become a wildlife haven. Wood ducks are common as well as other birds and mammals.
Mark and Beth have hosted numerous events sponsored by WSU Extension Forestry, the Mason County Conservation District, Washington Farm Forestry Association, and others. It is a regular stopping place for birders wanting to expand their list of bird sightings.
In 2020 the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service featured the Bisers on their “Fridays on the Farm” blog with an article titled “Restoring Wetlands and Creating Habitat”
Northwest Natural Resources Group wrote about the Bisers in an article titled “Beavers as Partners in Riparian Restoration” in 2021 and again in 2023 in an article titled “Still Waters Farm: Wetland Wasteland toBeaver and Waterfowl Haven“
In 2026 they were nominated for the Washington State Tree Farmer of the Year. A video that was prepared for their nomination for can be viewed here.
