Kittitas Conservation Trust used this grant to fund administrative and incidental costs in support of the Hundley property conservation easement acquired by WA Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) under project #06-1817. WDFW puchased a conservation easement on 430.80 acres of land located adjacent to I-90, approximately 3 miles south of Roslyn in northern Kittitas County. The property has been set aside permanently as dedicated fish and wildlife habitat. It includes contiguous acres of riparian forests, ponds, wetlands and shorelines that are bisected by the mainstem of the Yakima River for 1.3 river miles. Meadow-wetlands and complex lowlands occur on the south side of the Yakima River; wooded uplands occur on the north side. Conservation of this property will protect prime spawning and rearing habitat for salmon and steelhead. It is a strategic connecting parcel between other publicly-owned lands and protected properties for wildlife habitat. The purpose of this project is to protect riparian habitat in the lower Easton reach of the Yakima River and also to conserve a migratory corridor for elk, deer, mountain lion and other wildlife. This acquisition is part of the Upper Yakima River conservation project which was evaluated and approved through the 2006 Lands 20/20 process. The conservation easement will be managed within the Wildlife Program as part of the L.T. Murray Wildlife Area.
