WWRP Applicant: Dept of Natural Resources WWRP Category: Natural Areas WWRP Grant: $1,878,187 Project Type: Acquisition County: Clark  Legislative District: 15th 

The Department of Natural Resources will use this grant to acquire 150 acres east of Washougal as part of a larger area that encompasses the largest, high-quality, native oak woodland remaining in western Washington. The land supports two state sensitive plant species and two rare or threatened animal species: slender-billed white-breasted nuthatch and lower Columbia River steelhead. This acquisition is part of a multi-phased project with the long-term objective of protecting the oak woodland and its inhabitants from incompatible uses.

RCO Project Number: 06-1812
