Methow Watershed - Phase 5
- Status
- Funded in 2007
The Department of Fish and Wildlife will use this grant to purchase 1,330 acres in the Methow watershed. Targeted parcels will emphasize shrub-steppe and riparian habitats and will benefit more than 40 priority habitats and species, including sharp-tailed grouse, spring Chinook, steelhead, bull trout, and rare carnivores. In addition to protecting key habitats, targeted parcels will connect existing conservation lands, link critical riparian components to protected uplands, and maintain important wildlife movement corridors. No other major inhabited watershed in the state offers similar opportunity for such comprehensive protection of wildlife resources and recreation.
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.
