S. Sound Prairie and Bald Hill Restoration 2
- Status
- Funded in 2011
The Department of Fish and Wildlife will use this grant to continue restoration of five areas in southern Puget Sound by removing invasive plants and replanting. Scatter Creek, Mima Mounds, Bald Hill, Rocky Prairie, and West Rocky Prairie are home to many rare plants, animals, and plant communities of concern to the Washington Departments of Fish and Wildlife and Natural Resources. The five sites contain more than 60 percent of the remaining, native-dominated prairie outside of Joint Base Lewis McChord in southern Puget Sound. The department will eradicate invasive plant species, using controlled fire and herbicide. The two agencies are partnering with The Nature Conservancy and Joint Base Lewis McChord to increase the seed production capacity. This cooperative project will save the agencies time and money by avoiding redundancies in staffing, contracting, and seed source development. The department will contribute $20,000 from a federal grant.
