WWRP Category: Critical Habitat
WWRP Grant: $1,412,046

Description:

Mount Si is an extremely popular conservation area due to its close proximity (25 minutes) to the Seattle urban area. Primary features include critical wildlife habitat, scenic views and hiking trails. It provides important travel corridors and habitat for a diversity of wildlife including: mountain goats, bears, coyotes, cougar, bobcat, deer, elk, and a variety of birds and small mammals. It is a prominent scenic landscape along the I-90 corridor and an important part of the Mountains to Sound Greenway. The remaining private properties are threatened with conversion to incompatible and ecologically irreversible uses such as mining, residential, and commercial lodges. The development portion of this proposal is to restore habitat for wildlife in areas disturbed by humans, particularly roads that interfere with wildlife use of the site. In addition, a new trail head will be developed to allow access to the Little Si and Mount Si trails. This will include development of a viewpoint.
