Cypress Island Natural Area 2006
- Status
- Funded in 2009
The Department of Natural Resources will use this grant to buy waterfront properties on Cypress Island. Nearly 93 percent of the island is owned and managed by the department as the Cypress Island Natural Area Preserve and Natural Resource Conservation Area. The area is unique because of its large size, ecological diversity, and level of existing protection. The threat of conversion is high due to continuously rising property values in the San Juan Islands and the attractiveness of Cypress Island for vacation homes and resort facilities.
What is the WWRP?
The Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program (WWRP) is a state grant program that creates and conserves local and state parks, wildlife habitat and working farms. The Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office administers WWRP grants, and the legislature funds the program.
