This project proposes to acquire up to 32 acres of intact riparian area from a single landowner through Fee Simple Acquisition. The parcels of interest are in the Lower Dungenenss mainstem and are contiguous with the existing tribally-owned conservation areas in the ACOE levee setback project area. These parcels include the Dungeness River and its riparian forested channel networks along the lower Dungeness River, adjacent to the existing tribe's 43-acre conservation area at Rivers Edge. This would effectively conserve up to 75 acres of intact riparian habitat permanently. Just under one linear mile of channel length would be permanently conserved, enhancing the habitat restoration efforts accomplished by both Clallam County and the Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe in the effort to recover ESA-listed salmon stocks that spawn and rear in this reach. If these 32 acres of undeveloped riparian area can be acquired, it would bring the total area of conserved property in the lower Dungeness River to 200 acres. We will work with other willing landowners during the grant period if we are  unable to successfully acquire the targeted parcels.
