    Project Description    
The McLoughlin Falls project will acquire fee title ownership (and/or Conservation Easements) on priority parcels in this "last-best" reach of the Okanogan River. The highest priority owneship contains approximately 160 acres of floodplain, riparian, lowland, and upland habitats, with over 1.1 miles of undeveloped shoreline, off-channel habitats, wetlands, old growth ponderosa pine and riparian vegetation.

The project would protect this area from residential and agricultural development that would have extensive negative impacts to the near pristine conditions that now exist, particularly on the first priority parcel. These off-channel features provide key habitats for many fish and wildlife species, including neotropical migratory songbirds, amphibians, anadromous fish and wetland mammals. This project supports landscape-scale cooperative conservation efforts in North Central WA. The land is currently subdivided and road access exists. The first priority landowner (Wilson) is interested and motivated to fulfill a transaction.

Second priority parcels (Pariseau & Voelker) contain similar habitat features, with natural habitats and some agricultural land that may require future restoration. The project is within a Category 2 watershed and has spawning habitat for summer Chinook and some steelhead.
