Newly protected acreage will increase salmon habitat and make it possible to reconnect river oxbow

WENATCHEE — The Chelan-Douglas Land Trust (CDLT) has purchased 40 acres on the lower White River for the conservation of salmon habitat and improved public access.

What does a healthy river mean for a healthy community? Clean, abundant water and healthy riparian habitat are vital for fish, wildlife and people. North Central Washington’s quality of life and economic vitality depend on the natural functions and scenic quality of our exceptional rivers, streams and lakes.

Lake Wenatchee and its tributaries the White River and the Little Wenatchee River are a priority focus area for the Chelan-Douglas Land Trust. Much of the headwaters of the White and Little Wenatchee Rivers are in wilderness near the crest of the Cascade Mountains, and are relatively pristine.

We are thrilled to share the news that two major land protection projects were completed last week, safeguarding two diverse but equally strategic and critical natural areas forever!

We are thrilled to share the news that an agreement has been reached that officially puts construction of any hatchery facilities along the White River on hold until at least 2026, and then only if supported by an independent scientific review of artificial supplementation on the White River.
