DESCRIPTION
This is a multi-phase project. With this project, the Land Trust and the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe will work to conserve priority parcels in the Elwha River, Little River and Indian Creek watersheds through conservation easements or fee simple acquisition, and restoration may also be pursued. Projects could be implemented as early as 2015. Phases will be guided by planning work being completed in 2014. By the end of 2014, North Olympic Land Trust and the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe will have a prioritized individual parcel plan for the Elwha River, Little River and Indian Creek watersheds. The plan will identify properties that are most important to restore and maintain physical processes that form habitat. A geomorphic approach will be combined with landowner interviews to identify the most important parcels for long-term conservation. This Project will implement that plan.
