Description:

This acquisition will secure critical inholdings in the West Tiger Mountain NRCA. These inholdings are immediately threatened with conversion to residential uses which are incompatible with the viability of this important urban wildlife area. The acquired properties will preserve critical wildlife habitat, open space and scenic vistas along the I-90 corridor and provide opportunities for low-impact recreational uses and outdoor environmental education. Tiger Mountain is a conservation area with immense regional and local importance. The development proposal is to revegetate a disturbed site next to the High Point trail head to increase its wildlife habitat and natural values.
