The goal of this project is to establish Watchable Wildlife facilities in this unique eastern Washington environment. Currently, access is by appointment only due to the critical habitat of the site. All of the facilities in this project will be accessible -- 2 parking lots with toilets, trails, and 2 blinds will be constructed to maximize the outdoor experience but minimize the impact on wildlife being observed and provide outstanding views of the Lake, uplands and wildlife. With such high biodiversity, it is an excellent site for environmental education at all levels for local schools, for Spokane Schools, and for the ½ million residents of Spokane only 22 miles away. Purchased in Spring 2006 with IAC funds, Reardan Audubon Lake in Lincoln County is 277 acres of wetlands, vernal ponds, grasslands, channeled scablands, and uplands supporting more than 250 species of birds and other wildlife. The site includes 13 species and 4 bird communities and 5 WDFW habitat types of special concern. It is unusual being both the headwaters of Crab Creek and also Deep Creek. It is an Audubon Important Bird Area nominee and is planned for inclusion in the Northeast Washington Birding Trail. Ninety-two bird species are listed by Partners in Flight as priority-focal species. This project is a stellar example of a rural grassroots cooperative effort to preserve critical wildlife habitat, offer invaluable Watchable Wildlife recreational, and environmental education opportunities while enhancing the local economy.
