This project will involve the restoration of shrub-steppe habitat at four locations on the L.T. Murray/Wenas Wildlife Area Complex that share a very distinct common denominator. They were once used for the production of crops or pasture, and are now highly degraded in terms of quality wildlife habitat. All are treated for noxious weeds on an annual basis. Approximately 130 acres of once irrigated alfalfa fields at Mountain Vale Ranch west of Selah, WA require treatment with pre and post-emergent herbicides, and inter-seeding with native grass and shrub species to return the area to a more natural shrub-steppe vegetative community. 8 acres of once irrigated hay and pasture north of Vantage, WA on the Columbia River near Quilomene Bay will be restored through mowing, burning, treatment of noxious weeds, and seeding with native species. 150 acres of Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) lands above the Yakima River southwest of Ellensburg, WA will be enhanced by mowing, burning, treatment of noxious weeds, inter-seeding of native species into the non-native CRP plantings, and fertilization. This acreage was once used to grow dry land wheat. WDFW has recently acquired over 5,000 acres in the Skookumchuck, east of Ellensburg, WA. Past livestock grazing activity has heavily impacted native vegetation in some areas. Integrated weed management practices and seeding to native species will begin the process of restoring 100 acres to a condition suitable for fish and wildlife.
