Entiat Slopes NAP

Status
Funded in 1999
WWRP Applicant: Dept of Natural Resources WWRP Category: Natural Areas WWRP Grant: $248,194 Project Type: Acquisition County: Chelan  Legislative District: 12th 

Entiat Slopes is an existing Natural Area Preserve (NAP) site 15 miles north of Wenatchee in the foothill zone of eastern Washington. The proposal is to acquire additional critical properties, to nearly double the existing acreage. The target parcels contain the state’s highest quality examples of remaining native arid plant communities. They also provide important wildlife habitat, including critical riparian areas. The project will complement adjacent Bureau of Land Management land which provides protection for rare plants. Entiat Slopes NAP contains the state’s largest known population of Thompson’s Clover (state threatened and federal candidate) and the Longsepal Globemallow (state threatened).

RCO Project Number: 98-1147
