This proposal is the next step in a multi-phased project to preserve and restore riparian and shrubsteppe habitat on a property formerly in orchard. Phase 3 includes a side-channel rearing area and islands for anadromous fish along the Columbia River shoreline, shrubsteppe restoration, and native riparian plant restoration. Upland improvements include an extension of the trail loop, a hand-carry boat launch that will provide access for small boats, and interpretive signage. (These public access features are not part of this WWRP grant request). Future phases will continue the restoration of habitats, especially anadromous fish enhancements and additional riparian, shrubsteppe, and wetland habitats. Additional trails and upgrades to the parking and visitor amenities are planned. In 2003 WDFW acquired 227 acres, a former orchard, surrounding the Chelan Hatchery. The acquisition provided the opportunity to develop to Phase 1, the restoration of Beebe Creek, which is now complete. Phase 2 of the project received RCO funds, is designed, and will be constructed in 2008-2009. Phase 2 includes riparian and shrubsteppe vegetation establishment adjacent to the restored Beebe Creek. Phase 2 will also include anadromous fish rearing habitat enhancements along the Columbia River shoreline. A parking lot, interpretive signage, and initial trail loop around the creek with viewpoints will also be constructed to allow public enjoyment of the area.
