Reclamation Department Grant for Property Stewardship in Entiat Sub-basin

Reclamation Department is offering a grant to assist in monitoring and conducting post-construction stewardship on Chelan Douglas Land Trust (CDLT) lands within the Entiat Sub-basin. The grant aims to address the loss of use and physical disturbances these conservation lands will experience during habitat improvement projects, including vegetation removal and replacement, long term weed control, and monitoring to ensure the recovery of conservation values post-construction. The grant will support the collaboration between Reclamation and CDLT in managing public access and maintaining the ecological integrity of the Entiat River area.

Additional Information

Agency Name:	Bureau of Reclamation
Description:	Reclamation has performed Tributary and Reach Assessments of the Middle Entiat Assessment Unit of the Entiat River. These Assessments form the basis of habitat improvement projects under development in the Entiat River, located in the Entiat Sub-basin. Several of those projects are located on, or accessed through, private property owned and managed for conservation by the Chelan Douglas Land Trust (CDLT). Understanding that these lands are open to public use and that access for staging of materials and construction of the project must be tightly managed, that there will be a loss of use by the Land Trust during the two-year construction period that these conservation lands will experience significant physical disturbances associated with the construction of habitat projects; thereby requiring monitoring of vegetation removal and replacement, that long term weed control will be required, and that significant monitoring and stewardship of the rehabilitated lands post-construction will be needed to ensure they recover their conservation values, Reclamation seeks the assistance of the CDLT to monitor and conduct post-construction stewardship on CDLT lands.
