DESCRIPTION
Capitol Land Trust will restore ecological processes to 13 acres of stream and wetland buffer habitat, reconnect 33 acres of wetlands, and correct two fish passage barrier, on six permanently conserved properties in the Black River watershed of Thurston and Grays Harbor Counties. Project sites are protected by Capitol Land Trust through conservation easements and fee ownership. This project is part of a larger strategic initiative to conserve and restore important habitat along the Black River. Restoration activities include: riparian plantings and habitat enhancements on the shoreline of the Black River; shoreline planting, habitat enhancements, a culvert removal, and road removal to restore hydrologic and biological processes in the Tilley Wetlands Complex; invasive plant removal, and native plant installation to buffer a rare bog wetland; derelict structure removal in a forested wetland; and design and construction to replace two barrier culverts on Darlin Creek with a bridge; removing trails in sensitive areas and replacing them with trails on better areas; remove old tires on the Mima Creek property. Priority species supported include Chinook, Chum, Coho, steelhead, cutthroat, and Searun Cutthroat, in addition to migratory waterfowl, native amphibians and non-anadromous fish.
