HOOD CANAL — A purchase of 160 acres of wetlands at the critical confluence of the north and south forks of the Skokomish River in Mason County will protect habitat for salmon, including “threatened” chinook, summer chum and steelhead, experts said. Funding came from the state through the Salmon Recovery Fund, administered by the state Recreation and Conservation Office, and the Wildlife Landowner Incentive Program, administered through the Department of Fish & Wildlife. “Conserving these properties will make a positive impact on the region’s important salmon population and give our partners flexibility in their broader restoration goals in the Hood Canal basin,” said Sam Gibboney of the Cascade Land Conservancy in a statement.
Grants were given to a partnership between CLC, the Hood Canal Coordinating Council and the Hood Canal Salmon Enhancement Group. Green Diamond Resource Co. sold 131 forested acres on the south side of the Skokomish River for $262,000. The other 29 acres were purchased from landowner Robert Rasmussen for $110,000.
