Category Overview
As Washington continues to grow, many of our most beautiful areas are threatened with development. In addition, native ecosystems are receding, and important wildlife habitat and migratory pathways are being cut off. The Natural Areas category helps combat this by funding projects that protect wildlife habitat and rare geological features while also preserving public access for back-country recreation.
Project Highlights
This project secures additional critical lands in the conservation area for continued protection of the rugged terrain, diverse ecosystems, scenery, and recreational opportunities available at the Mount Si area.
