McIntyre
Conservation Easement:
20 acres in the McLane Creek Watershed/Delphi
Valley
Protected in 2006.
The
property contains considerable functional forested and
wetland habitat.
The property’s wetlands, streams and forested
areas share direct hydrologic connectivity to McLane
Creek,
Mud
Bay
and the lower Eld Inlet watershed.
The Property’s forested over-story consists of a
diverse mix of Western red cedar, Douglas fir, western
hemlock, big leaf maple, grand fir and alder.
These forested areas provide key habitat
connectivity to the McLane Creek Nature Preserve, the
Capitol
State
Forest
and the McLane/Eld Inlet watersheds.
Permanent protection of this habitat benefits many
species that rely on protected areas to hunt, feed, seek
shelter and travel.
