Woodard Bay NRCA 2008
- Status
- Funded in 2009
The Washington Department of Natural Resources will use this grant to buy 51 acres to expand the Woodard Bay Natural Resources Conservation Area and the viability of the wildlife habitat in a rapidly developing residential area. Land acquisition will ensure that the conservation area continues to provide important habitat for wildlife, including nesting bald eagles, a significant heron rookery, and the largest harbor seal nursery in south Puget Sound. With habitat ranging from shoreline to wetlands to mature second growth forest, homes for shorebirds and songbirds, river otters, and a maternity colony of bats will continue to be protected at Woodard Bay. Located within minutes of downtown Olympia, the conservation area offers many opportunities for environmental education, including interpretive signs and nature trails with views of tidelands, old growth cedar, and a myriad of wildlife.
