Methow Watershed Phase 3
- Status
- Funded in 2003
This project will provide critical habitat for sharp-tailed grouse, spring Chinook, and Upper Columbia steelhead. Targeted parcels will protect the largest contiguous block of shrub-steppe habitat remaining in the Methow Watershed, along with five miles of Beaver Creek frontage, and four miles of Methow River frontage. In addition, these acquisitions will protect biologically rich riparian forests; providing important habitat for riparian songbirds, furbearers, amphibians, and other priority species. Targeted parcels link critical riparian components to protected uplands. Maintaining connectivity will prevent fragmentation, maximize habitat effectiveness, and facilitate wildlife movements within the watershed.
Location
Upper Methow Complex: 4 miles NW of Winthrop between Hwy 20 and the Methow River AND just down stream from the confluence of Goat Creek and the Methow River, 2 miles SE of Mazama. Beaver Creek: Beaver Creek frontage from where creek crosses Hwy 20 to Balky Hill Road, and most of the undeveloped uplands to the west bounded by East County Road, Balky Hill Road, Beaver Creek Road and Hwy 20.
