Conservation Story
The Washington Eddy Conservation Area is one of nine properties transferred from The Nature Conservancy (TNC) to Skagit Land Trust (SLT) in 2017. Together, these properties total 1,024 acres and expanded the lands managed by SLT by more than one third at the time of transfer.
Learn more about the land acquisition between TNC and SLT in our Summer 2017 Newsletter.
Site History and Ecology
The Washington Eddy Conservation Area is home to maturing forest, which provides priority habitat for bald eagles and rich salmon rearing habitat within both Washington Eddy and the Skagit River. This Conservation Area is also within the northern spotted owl management zone.
Access
Although this Conservation Area is open to the public, it is only accessible via boat on the Skagit River or by traversing a steep slope.
