Land
acquisition is one of the tools used by the Department
to conserve Washington’s fish and wildlife
and provide related recreational opportunities.
This tool carries with it responsibilities and costs,
and can only occur successfully with the support
of our citizens. As our understanding of fish and
wildlife values grows, and the number of entities
working to preserve those values increases, it has
become ever more important for the Department to
clearly articulate its unique role through an overarching
lands vision.
“Land Line” News Notes are produced for e-mail distribution about 10 times a year to provide information about department land management on both public and private land for fish and wildlife habitat needs and for recreation such as hunting, wildlife watching, fishing, camping, hiking, and boating.
Washington's Wildlife Areas
are diverse in habitat and species offering many
opportunites for wildlife viewing, hunting, fishing,
hiking, camping. With over 150 different areas to
choose from the choices for activities are abundant.
Some areas are closer than you think.
A
Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) is a management
strategy that provides long-term certainty of Endangered
Species Act (ESA) compliance while providing for
conservation of species.
