Our Work / Riparian Protection / Cedar River Upper Royal Arch Reach Acq

Category Overview

Conserving land along our waterways protects important habitat and helps keep our rivers healthy, clean, and more resilient to drought. Riparian Protection projects conserve and restore fresh and saltwater habitat while protecting fish habitat. In doing so, the grants help provide our families, farms, and fisheries with clean water across the state.

Project Highlights

Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) will use this grant to purchase property on the Upper Royal Arch Reach of the Cedar River, located just west of Maple Valley. The proposed project will acquire 20 acres of floodplain with 720 feet of river frontage for future restoration of natural riverine processes. Scope of work for this project includes demolition of existing structures. The primary conservation benefit of this project is habitat for Chinook and other salmon and trout species.
