North Central Washington Audubon
OF INTEREST
The North Central Washington Audubon Society has strong working relationships with several other conservation organizations in our area. We are always pleased when one of our partners is recognized for meaningful work that advances their organization’s objectives, especially when the work directly aligns with the NCWAS conservation mission.
The Chelan-Douglas Land Trust (CDLT) was recently recognized by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology for their work to restore critical bird habitat in the Spiva Butte Nature Preserve after the devastating 2020 wildfire. The Cornell Lab Land Trust Bird Conservation Initiative provided CDLT with grant funding to restore areas of the Spiva Butte Nature Preserve.
You can read a description of how the grant funding was used to restore sagebrush and riparian habitat for both Greater Sage-Grouse and Sharp-tailed Grouse within the burned area. Click here to access the story.
The CDLT restoration project at Spiva Butte is a great example of the many meaningful conservation projects that are ongoing in North Central Washington.
