Oak Flats

Status
Funded in 2007
WWRP Applicant: Dept of Fish & Wildlife WWRP Category: Riparian Protection WWRP Grant: $250,000 Project Type: Acquisition County: Yakima  Legislative District: 14th 

The Department of Fish and Wildlife will use this grant to purchase 300 acres along the Naches River, begin initial restoration, and incorporate the land into the Oak Creek Wildlife Area. Oak Flats is riparian and floodplain habitat near the confluence of the Naches and Tieton Rivers. This reach of the river is important habitat for at-risk salmon species including bull trout and summer steelhead. Acquisition would protect habitat including channel migration zones along a reach of the Naches River that is often confined by U.S. Route 12.

RCO Project Number: 06-1833
