Methow Watershed Phase 6

Status
Funded in 2009
WWRP Applicant: Dept of Fish & Wildlife WWRP Category: Critical Habitat WWRP Grant: $3,500,000 Project Type: Acquisition County: Okanogan  Legislative District: 12th 

The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife will use this grant to acquire 1,070 acres of critical riparian and shrub-steppe habitat, including more than a half mile of stream frontage, in the Methow watershed. Acquisitions will be made by buying the land directly or purchasing conservation easements. The project will protect cross-valley corridors for animal movement; conserve the upper valley’s largest privately held block of shrub-steppe habitat, which is critical for sharp-tailed grouse recovery in the watershed; protect more than 40 priority habitats and species; and enhance fishing, hunting, and watchable wildlife opportunities. The grant will provide a state match for federal funding. This grant is from the Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program. (08-1505)

RCO Project Number: 08-1505
