- Status
- Funded in 2009
The Washington Department of Natural Resources will use this grant to restore about 85 acres in the Washougal Oaks Natural Area Preserve and Natural Resources Conservation Area, which contain the largest, high-quality native oak woodland remaining in western Washington. Oak woodland ecosystems in western Washington have declined because of development, invasion by other trees and plants, grazing, and fire suppression. This oak woodland type is considered critically imperiled globally. Work will include developing weed management and restoration plans, mapping the locations of non-native plants, controlling weeds, removing other trees that will outgrow and shade the oaks, and replanting the area. (08-1400)
Location
From Vancouver take highway 14 to approximately 3 miles east of the town of Washougal. The site is on the north side of the highway.
