- Funded in 2007
Mason County will use this grant to protect the 500-acre Decker Creek riparian-wetland complex. Decker Creek is an important salmon-producing stream and is used for spawning and rearing by coho, summer and fall Chinook, chum, steelhead, and cutthroat. The land also is home to western toad, great blue heron, pileated woodpecker, and a large elk herd. The land is scheduled for logging. Mason County will contribute $693,925 in donated land value and a federal grant.
Location
From Shelton, WA: Follow the Shelton-Matlock Road to the small town of Matlock. Turn left onto the Matlock-Brady Road at the Matlock Store. Just past the Mary M. Knight School, turn right on the paved road. Follow this road to the gate. If the gate is open, follow the gravel road to a Y in the road. Take the right fork of the Y and park at the left bend in the road just after the road leaves the forested area and enters an old clear-cut area.
