Description
The Nisqually Land Trust permanently protected 174 acres through fee acquisition along the north shoreline of the Wilcox Reach of the Nisqually River, near Yelm in Pierce County. This property includes 1 mile of river shoreline, over 100 acres in the floodplain and channel migration zone, and over 20 acres of forested wetland on the hilltop at the top of the bluff in the northeast corner of the property. This project doubled the area permanently protected in Pierce County as a part of the Land Trusts Lackamas Flats Protected Area and this site is directly across the river from an additional 41 acres of permanently protected shoreline and riparian habitat.
Both the Nisqually Chinook Salmon Recovery Plan and the Nisqually Steelhead Recovery Plan identify this reach of the Nisqually River as a high priority for habitat protection.
Project Benefit
Protect Nisqually River high priority habitat for Chinook salmon and steelhead trout as listed in the Nisqually Chinook Salmon Recovery Plan and the Nisqually Steelhead Trout Recovery Plan. Accomplishments
