Methow Wildlife Corridor Phase 4
Description:
This project includes acquisition of several priority sites in the Methow Valley. This project is a continuation of the most effective acquisition program in the state. It implements the objectives defined by the Methow Mule Deer study done cooperatively by WDFW and the US Forest Service. This study defined the most important mule deer migration corridors and wintering areas that are absolutely necessary for the survival of the mule deer herd. The highest priority area focuses on the Chewack River Drainage, north of Winthrop. This includes riparian and upland acres that are essential for deer crossing to and from the east side of the valley.
