Category Overview
The State Lands Restoration and Enhancement category provides funding to two state agencies to help repair damaged plant and animal habitat. These grants focus on resource preservation and protection of public lands. Projects in this category help bring important natural areas and resources back to their original functions by improving the self sustaining and ecological functionality of sites.
Project Highlights
Washington State Parks will use this grant to complete restoration of 155 acres of native coastal dune habitat at Leadbetter Point State Park in Pacific County. Restoration work will control invasive beachgrass, spread clean oystershell, and plant native vegetation to improve processes and habitat for four species of concern and benefit the critically imperiled North Pacific Maritime Coastal Sand Dune and Strand ecosystem. The primary habitat to be restored is coastal dune.
