Goal: Conserve the ecological integrity and extraordinary biological diversity of the Okanogan Watershed. Objectives: 1. Protect parcels containing critical riparian habitats that are under-represented in the protected land base, and link these parcels to existing public lands. 2. Maintain cross-valley corridors to facilitate animal movements. Activities: Secure approximately 800 acres including 150 acres of critical riparian and wetland habitat, and 4 miles of Okanogan River shoreline through fee title and conservation easement (CE) purchases. Benefits: 1. Conserve the last undeveloped stretch of the Okanogan River, critical habitat for listed anadromous fish. 2. Protect habitat for almost 40 priority habitats and species including upper Columbia River summer steelhead, spring Chinook, bull trout, migratory songbirds, and rare carnivores. 3. Enhance public fishing, hunting, and watchable wildlife opportunities. 4. Protect riparian corridors and the species that depend on them. 5. Help secure an important segment of the County’s planned regional water-trail network. 6. Improve management efficiencies by linking large blocks of existing public ownership. 7. Support local economies through ecologically sustainable land use and the maintenance of working landscapes. 8. Address the objectives of state and regional planning efforts. 9. Compliments the WWRP critical habitat Okanogan-Similkameen 2 project.
