Category Overview
Urban Wildlife Habitat projects fund close-to-home places to play and explore nature. As our urban areas are increasingly expanding and densifying, these grants protect important fish and wildlife habitat within five miles of densely populated areas, creating green refuges that help keep our ecosystems healthy and provide places to enjoy nature right in our backyards.
Project Highlights
This project secured approximately 43 acres of undeveloped property in the Forbes Creek/Juanita Bay watershed in Kirkland. The site protects significant riverine wetlands and other wildlife habitat in this densely populated part of the east Lake Washington region.
