Mount Si NRCA 00
- Status
- Funded in 2003
This project adds properties to the Mount Si Natural Resources Conservation Area (NRCA). Mount Si is a prominent scenic landscape along I-90 and is an important part of the Mountains to Sound Greenway. Its close proximity to the Seattle urban area makes it a very popular recreational site. Properties proposed for acquisition are threatened with conversion to incompatible and ecologically irreversible uses such as mining, residential and commercial uses. Primary features include critical wildlife habitat, travel connectors, scenic views, and hiking trails. A diversity of wildlife including mountain goats, bears, coyotes, cougar, bobcat, deer, elk and a variety of birds and small mammals inhabit the site. The additions to the NRCA will help connect the NRCA and other natural areas in the Cascade Range, including the Middle Fork of the Snoqualmie River and the Alpine Lakes Wilderness Area.
Location
The Mount Si NRCA is 45 minutes east of Seattle on I-90 approximately 5 miles east of North Bend. The only access to the project site is through the Weyerhauser Tree Farm.
