Trout Lake Wetlands NAP 00
- Status
- Funded in 2001
This proposal adds to an ongoing project which provides extremely critical habitat for a variety of endangered, threatened, and candidate species, including bald eagles (winter roost) and sandhill cranes (staging area). The project area is comprised of over 70% wetlands and is considered a unique and invaluable area by amphibian experts. It contains the most viable of only four known Washington populations of the Oregon spotted frog, a state endangered and federal candidate species. This wetland system in Klickitat County near White Salmon is part of the Pacific Flyway, and supports a large number of neotropical migratory birds. The project area is also important wintering habitat for black-tailed deer. It is part of an essential movement corridor for a large elk herd and is used for wintering, spring foraging and calving. A proposed development element is an educational wildlife viewing trail.
