The North Fork of the Teanaway River is a naturally flowing mountain stream that supports populations of Bull trout, Mid-Columbia Steelhead, and Chinook salmon. This project is Phase Two of a salmon habitat preservation strategy to place a conservation easement along the floodplain of the NF Teanaway River in northern Kittitas County. The NF Teanaway feeds the Teanaway River which is a major and priority headwater tributary to the Yakima River. The entire project site includes the 5.83 mile reach (11.6 miles both sides of stream) and 354 acres of floodplain, riparian forest and meadow habitat between Lick Creek and Jack Creek and supports all life cycle stages of bull trout, steelhead, spring Chinook and coho salmon. Phase Two includes the middle 2-miles (4 miles both sides of stream) and 100 acres of floodplain habitat between Dickey Creek and Jack Creek and is a northerly continuation of Phase I. The highly functional floodplain supports a bio-diverse ecosystem and sits within a 45,000-acre block of private forestland under single ownership and managed as commercial forest. The area is a popular recreation gateway to the Wenatchee National Forest and renowned for its scenic beauty. Habitat supported by the project area is threatened and vulnerable to fragmentation and degradation due to increased residential development and permissive local land use policies.
