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
County purchased 1,518 acres in the Vancouver Lake lowlands and along the lower end of Salmon Creek in southwest Clark County for Urban Wildlife Habitat habitat and low impact recreation. Area provides excellent bird watching opportunities and also assists with local flood prevention efforts.
