Mainstem Nisqually Restoration and Protection

Wilcox Reach - North Shoreline Protection

Organization	Nisqually River Salmon Recovery Lead Entity
Sponsor	Nisqually Land Trust
Status	Completed
Schedule	Start Date: 1/19/2018 End Date: 4/19/2021

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 Trust's 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.
