Taylor Mountain Forest Inholdings
- Status
- Funded in 2007
King County will use this grant to buy 80 acres in Taylor Mountain Forest, protecting the pond, marshes, swamps, creek, and riparian habitats that create the critical headwaters of a large wetland and riparian system extending into Taylor Mountain Forest and draining into both Carey and Holder Creeks. The land is home to black bear, cougar, bobcat, elk, deer, beaver, great blue heron, bald eagle, wood duck, pileated woodpecker, salamander, cutthroat trout, and western toad. It also is part of a wildlife corridor that connects Tiger Mountain Forest to the Cedar River watershed. This purchase will prevent housing developments in the forest and allow trail access to the Holder Creek and Tiger Mountain Summit trails. King County will contribute $850,000 in cash, conservation futures, and a federal grant.
