CAPITOL LAND TRUST 2008 Annual Report to Members April 20

Welcome to our 2008 Annual Report. In this edition you will find an updated map of Capitol Land Trust'sconserved properties, a review of our 2008 finances, a comprehensive list of donors, as well as morein-depth articles about our current work.

In this past year we have achieved a number of important milestones -- from developing a new five-yearstrategic plan to adding two new full-time staff members. Two Capitol Land Trust projects were awarded$1.65 million dollars through the National Coastal Wetland Conservation grant program, more than 8% of thetotal funding nationwide. In addition, during the past year we continued to strengthen our StewardshipProgram, monitoring 100% of our protected properties.

At our Conservation Breakfast in February, five landowners were recognized for conserving their properties inThurston, Grays Harbor and Mason Counties. Tom and Charlene Wynne, Jay and Susan Gordon, and Ann Olliwere each presented with Capitol Land Trust's 2009 Conservation Award. What makes these conservationistsso unique is that each of the properties they conserved is a working farm. These pioneering landowners havedemonstrated, often against conventional wisdom, that the goals of keeping local farms in production andserving as stewards of essential wildlife habitat are shared goals.

Capitol Land Trusts new strategic plan adds conservation of working agricultural, timber and tidelands to itsexisting habitat conservation goals. The addition of working lands to our strategic priorities signifies theimportance of not only the land itself, but also the landowners in ensuring habitat health, a sustainableeconomy, and connectivity across the landscape.

We will also continue to build upon our other strategic goals that have resulted in the permanentconservation of thousands of acres of marine, freshwater and upland habitats in southwest Washington. Wehave set ambitious conservation and organizational goals such as:

Land Trust Efforts Focus onUnique Gem: Goldsborough Creek

Coho Salmon

G raising ten million dollars in new conservation funding by December,2010;

G conserving 13 additional miles of marine shoreline habitat by 2013;G creating a rapid response fund that will enable us to take advantage of

strategic acquisition opportunities; and,G continuing to expand our staff capacity to meet the challenges and

opportunities in front of us.

Obtaining these goals becomes all the more challenging given the currentstate of the local and national economy. But of all times, now is when weneed to increase our investment in conservation. This is why your support isso important. It is far easier and less expensive to sustain functioningestuaries, wetlands and working lands than to try to replicate them orreplace all of the benefits they provide.

We are grateful to all of the individuals, businesses, foundations, agenciesand other partners who make our work possible.

Sincerely,

Eric Erler - Executive Director

A key component of a healthyPuget Sound is functional lowlandstream systems. One of the largestin the South Sound is GoldsboroughCreek in Mason County. The Creekflows 14 miles east from timber-lands owned by Green DiamondResource Company through theCity of Shelton and into OaklandBay/Hammersley Inlet.

South Sound was once a mecca forlowland stream habitat, but it haslargely disappeared. Goldsborough

is one of the remaining gems. Thewatershed has a relatively low levelof land development upstream of Shelton and extensive forestlands.That means it will take less effortand money to restore and sustainsome semblance of a healthywatershed.

Like all lowland streams, Goldsbor-ough Creek does not begin insnowy mountains like larger rivers

do, but in a series of lowelevation wetlands. It then cutsdown through a small canyon tothe downtown delta. Streamflowis sustained by rainfall in thewinter and groundwater in thesummer. Healthy lowland habitat

is a favorite for a variety of salmon species, including coho.

Lowland streams rife with largewoody debris provide idealshelter. The headwater wetlandsin particular are excellent placesfor juvenile coho to feed andrest. Goldsborough has alwayshad healthy lowland habitat, butfish did not always have accessto the upper watershed. A damblocked fish passage a couplemiles upstream of Shelton from1881 to 2001. The dam atvarious times served as a sourceof hydro power for Shelton and a water source forthe Simpson mills on the waterfront.

In 2001, the Army Corps of Engineers removedthe dam with the strong support of SimpsonTimber Company, Green Diamond ResourceCompany, the Squaxin Island Tribe, and the WAState Dept. of Fish and Wildlife. This was terrificnews for salmon. Prior to dam removal almost all

spawning occurred in the very lower reaches of Goldsborough Creek and likely in Coffee Creek.

The small amount of available habitat limited thenumber of coho that could spawn. After the damwas removed, coho shifted to spawning furtherupstream, where new and better habitat was nowavailable. And since there is more room for cohoto spawn there, the number of juveniles leavingthe creek in the spring has increased.

With the dam gone, the current priority is toconserve strategic habitat that is still in good

condition. This is where Capitol Land Trust is lead-ing the way. In 2008, with support from GreenDiamond Resource Company and the SalmonRecovery Funding Board, Capitol Land Trustpurchased a 40-acre property along GoldsboroughCreek. The Rose property is located just below theconfluence of the north and south forks. Itencompasses some of the prime headwaterwetlands coho love. The Rose property adds to 20acres of similar habitat already conserved just 1/4mile upstream on the south fork of GoldsboroughCreek.

PAGE3

Downstream from the Rose property, Capitol LandTrust and Mason County are working to conservemigratory habitat adjacent to the former damsite. In addition to our efforts along GoldsboroughCreek, we are also working on importanttributaries such as Coffee Creek. Coffee Creeksheadwaters are located four miles outside of townin the lowland forests of Shelton Valley. Prior todam removal, Coffee Creek spawned the bulk of

the coho exiting Goldsborough Creek.In 2009, Ann Olli donated a conservationeasement on her farm (see page 6 article) toensure it will remain productive while protectingthe headwaters of Coffee Creek and other streamsand springs. The Land Trust is working with otherlandowners in the valley to conserve an additional260 acres of wetlands, forest and farm land, andcreeks.

The South Puget Sound Salmon EnhancementGroup helped Capitol Land Trust and other local

nonprofits obtain funding from the National Fishand Wildlife Foundation. This funding will be usedto evaluate additional areas in the GoldsboroughCreek watershed which are ripe for conservationand restoration. With this watershed assessmentof the area, the Land Trust will focus its efforts inareas where conservation will make the greatestimpact.

With spring on the way, Capitol Land Trustsrestoration season is heating up. At least threedifferent projects are in the works for March andApril, each with its own unique history, challenges

and goals.

Now that Capitol Land Trust has officially becomethe owner of the Randall property on Mud Bay,the process of restoring a habitat that has longbeen impacted by human uses can begin inearnest. In partnership with People for PugetSound we led a volunteer crew of about ten

people on March 4 th to continue collect-ing debris that hasaccumulated aroundthe property andcontrolling invasiveplants, includingpoison hemlockwhich is classified bythe county as anoxious weed.

We found thatMarch was a greattime to attack theweeds moist soilallowed roots to be

snow and the bright green hemlockand Scotch broom were easy todistinguish against a background of still-dormant grasses and shrubs.

People for Puget Sound also provided about thirtynative shrubs including ocean spray and snow-berry that we planted in the area along Mud BayRoad to fill in bare spots within the otherwisequite successful plantings that had been done inthat area several years ago. While they may seemsmall, these are important steps towards restor-ing one of south Puget Sounds most importantestuaries.

Two more volunteer events were held on theweekend March 14 th and 15 th . On Saturday, weworked at the Oakland Bay County Park,conserved in 2005. Malaney Creek runs throughthe property and into Oakland Bay providinghabitat for chum and coho salmon as well ascountless other creatures. Much of the riparianand marine shoreline areas have been impactedby invasive weeds such as evergreen blackberryand Scotch broom. Part of AmeriCorps term of service is to take on a Community Action Project,with the goal of enhancing members understand-ing of civic engagement. Together with MasonConservation Districts AmeriCorps member, ChrisAnderson, we adopted the Oakland Bay site as

our Project. We have been working since Januaryto coordinate the restoration effort and preparethe site, culminating in Saturdays event when weplanted almost 500 native trees and shrubs with acadre of volunteers.

Despite inclement weather, the following day sawthe Land Trust team out at the Green Cove Creekwetlands in West Olympia. The 500 trees andshrubs planted on Sunday were a result of a grantfrom the HomeStreet Bank Tree Challenge thatwe received in 2007. Ben Alexander from SoundNative Plants created a plan for the project tohelp restore native vegetation to the small uplandportion of the site that borders the scrub-shrubwetland along the creek. Additionally, we receiveda generous donation from the WA State Dept. of Natural Resources of 350 seedlings

Thanks to everyone who made it out to help planttrees and start the process of restoring thesecritical habitats. To get involved with futurerestoration projects, contact Noah at(360) 943-3012, [email protected].

This flowering shrub, also known as Scot's broom ( Cytisusscoparius), is an invasive plant that grows commonly throughoutthe Puget Sound region.

Native to the pea family, Scotch broom was originally introducedfrom Europe as an ornamental and for erosion control in the1800s. Rumor has it the plant was used as a packing materialduring the Gold Rush, keeping precious cargo (such as whiskey)safe.

Today it covers many acres west of the Cascades from BritishColumbia to California. Scotch broom is highly aggressive andforms dense, monoculture stands, pushing out other plants andtrees, destroying natural habitat. Because it is a threat to nativeplant species and indirectly to animals that feed on the displacedplants, Scotch broom is a Class B noxious weed in WashingtonState.

One of the main reasons Scotch broom is so prolific is that it is acopious seed producer. The seeds have hard coats enabling them tosurvive in the environment for up to 80 years. The only way tosuccessfully eradicate Scotch broom is to pull it up before theseeds emerge, making sure to take up the entire root. The plantscan be dried and then burned; burying or mulching is not recom-mended, since the roots may revive and start growing again.

For Shelton Valley property ownerAnn Olli, keeping her property inone piece was something shed hadin mind for years and years. Ann

says she didnt know where to gountil a well-respected neighbor whowas familiar with Capitol Land Trustgave Ann some reading material.

Just a few miles from Highway 101and downtown Shelton, the 60-acreOlli property is located in anagricultural corridor that is alreadyfacing development pressure. Thetemptation to subdivide largeacreage properties into smallerparcels will only increase as popula-tion growth continues. The land washomesteaded in the 1800s and hasbeen in Anns family since 1933. Levi Simpsonpurchased the land and named it Alderbrook Farmin 1887; the rolling pastures and woodlands arepart of Sheltons unique history. The old dairy andhay barn, Alderbrook Barn, was added to thehistorical building register in 2008.

A working farm for over a century, Ann didntwant to see that hard work and passion disappearinto subdivisions. You look around and ourcountry is getting so chopped up, she observeswith regret. For over a year, Ann worked withCapitol Land Trust staff to thoughtfully craft theterms of a conservation easement. She was ableto define the easement to fit her goals and values,without feeling she was agreeing to somethingshe was uncomfortable with.

Ann wanted to conserve her land intact, but shedidnt want it to lie fallow and neglected. To Ann,it is important that the land is used, as she is afarmer at heart. Haying and livestock productionwill be allowed in the future. Ann also asked to

limit future livestock numbers, protecting thepastures from overgrazing and damage throughmismanagement. Future timber harvests will berestricted, yet Ann wants to allow new owners tobe able to use any downed trees on the land.

By including such details Ann was able to definethe terms of the agreement according to hervalues, continuing her familys long history of thoughtful land management well into the future.

Anns advice to other landowners contemplating

land conservationis that they should

investigate, studyup! Ask lots of questions andtake your time. Ann notes thatm a n y p e o p l emisunderstood theidea behind ac o n s e r v a t i o n

easement. Theythink the govern-ment owns it, andthats not it atall!

Working with a non-profit land conservationorganization like Capitol Land Trust can be arewarding experience. Nothing was pushed onme, Ann says. This is a passion with me. I knewit had to be done. When questioned about herdecision to forgo subdivision and the potentialprofits she could earn, Ann shrugged. Money isnot everything, she says. Her children are wellestablished and will still be able to sell the land if they chose to do so.

For Ann, there is nowhere else she would ratherlive. By placing a conservation easement on theland, Ann protects the history of farming here andalso its future. Anns hope is that these beautiful60 acres with an historic barn will remainaffordable for a farmer of similar commitment inyears to come.
