Woodard Bay NRCA Riparian 2008
- Status
- Funded in 2009
The Washington Department of Natural Resources will use this grant to buy 27.9 acres to expand the Woodard Bay Natural Resources Conservation Area and the viability of the riparian habitat in a rapidly developing residential area. The land includes important tributaries to Chapman Bay and Woodard Bay, and a key portion of the Woodard Bay shoreline. Land acquisition will ensure that the site 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. Habitats range from riparian areas along creeks and ponds, marine shorelines, wetlands, and mature second growth forest. This diverse ecosystem protects homes for shorebirds and songbirds, river otters, and a maternity colony of bats. (08-1188)
