Forterra protected 34.52 acres on the soler property along South Prairie Creek. The creek, a tributary to the Carbon River, is the most important spawning area for salmon species in the Puyallup watershed, producing nearly half the wild steelhead in the Puyallup River system, the only significant run of pink salmon and important returns of Chinook, Coho and chum salmon and sea-run cutthroat trout. The high quality habitat along the stream is threatened with immense pressures for development. South Prairie Creek, the primary tributary to the Carbon River, is the most important salmonid spawning area in the Puyallup watershed, producing nearly half the wild steelhead in the Puyallup River system, the only significant run of pink salmon, and important returns of Chinook, Coho, chum salmon & sea-run cutthroat trout. This reach level acquisition project was seeking to protect upwards of 95 acres of floodplain, agricultural & riparian habitat directly on South Prairie Creek. There is a unique opportunity to leverage significant conservation and restoration opportunities advancing in this reach with the previous protection of the Inglin Dairy, Turnbull, Bee Spit Honey & Soler properties - allowing for more efficiency and greater salmon protection at the same time.
