The Inland Empire Action Coalition used this project to purchase a permanent conservation easement on 140 acres of riparian land along the Touchet River immediately south of Prescott, WA. In addition, 2 acres of formerly farmed fields within the floodplain were planted with native riparian vegetation. The easement averages approximately 330 feet on both sides of the Touchet River for roughly 1.75 miles. Restrictions on the entire easement include: no buildings, structures, or roads of any kind; no timber harvest; no disturbance of the river other than for habitat projects; and the area must be kept in a natural habitat condition. These restrictions will ensure the existing buffers on the site stay in place forever. In addition, farming and grazing are prohibited on the entire easement, except for the 18.5 acre donated farmable associated upland, shown on the included map. The easement consists of 140 acres total (18.5 acres are farmable associated uplands). Housing encroachment, development, and human disturbance of the stream are possibly the largest threat to long term fish production in the watershed today. This project permanently removes that threat from the project area and protects the already-installed, wide, native, diverse riparian buffers forever. The primary fish specie benefitted is summer steelhead.
