Jefferson Land Trust used this grant to acquire 11 parcels to protect salmonid habitat. Noxious weeds have been removed from the area and a management plan developed as well. The project is located in Jefferson County, adjacent to Chimacum Creek, east of Highway 19. The acquisition of numerous small parcels helps conserve the ecological integrity and biological diversity of the Chimacum Creek estuary by protecting parcels containing critical riparian habitats and linking these parcels to existing Land Trust- and publicly protected lands. The primary habitat protected is riparian and steep, forested uplands. Approximately 2.3 acres of riparian and steep slope forested upland were acquired. The primary species supported by these habitats are Endangered Species Act listed anadromous fish including summer chum, coho, fall chum, and steelhead. This acquisition effort was identified as a high priority for Jefferson Land Trust who has worked closely with Jefferson County and Chumsortium partners to secure funding and other support for this project. This project builds upon the Land Trust, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) and Jefferson County land holdings totaling over 150 acres in the Chimacum Creek Lower Mainstem area.
