Bald Hill NRCA 2006
- Status
- Funded in 2007
The Department of Natural Resources will use this grant to buy 1,280 acres for a Bald Hill Natural Resource Conservation Area to be added to the Bald Hill Natural Area Preserve. Bald Hill has the best occurrence in the state of the white oak/sedge-camas woodland association, a globally critically imperiled element. Bald Hill has important occurrences of low elevation freshwater wetland and Douglas-fir-madrone hairy honeysuckle forest. The population of Taylor's checkerspot butterfly is of global importance. It is one of a few populations that appears to be stable. Rare plants include small-flowered trillium, common bluecup, Nutall's quillwort, and one of two known Washington populations of California sword-fern. This project would improve manageability and long-term viability of the site.
