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
Purchase of 567 acres of shorelands, wetlands, and floodplains on Vancouver Lake just west of the City of Vancouver. This property provides critical wintering areas for Canada geese, migrating sandhill cranes, and a variety of other waterfowl. The project is consistent with and in cooperation with Clark County facilities nearby.
