For Shelton Valley property owner Ann Olli, keeping her property in onepiece was something shed had in mind for years and years. Ann says she

didnt know where to go until a well-respected neighbor who was familiarwith Capitol Land Trust gave Ann some reading material.

Just a few miles from Highway 101 and downtown Shelton, the 60-acre Olli

property is located in an agricultural corridor that is already facing develop-ment pressure. The temptation to subdivide large acreage properties into

smaller parcels will only increase as population growth continues. The landwas homesteaded in the 1800s and has been in Anns family since 1933.

Levi Simpson purchased the land and named it Alderbrook Farm in 1887;

the rolling pastures and woodlands are part of Sheltons unique history. Theold dairy and hay barn, Alderbrook Barn, was added to the historical

building register in 2008.

A working farm for over a century, Ann didnt want to see thathard work and passion disappear into subdivisions. You look

around and our country is getting so chopped up, she observes

with regret. For over a year, Ann worked with Capitol LandTrust staff to thoughtfully craft the terms of a conservation

easement. She was able to define the easement to fit her goals

and values, with-out feeling she

was agreeing to

something shewas uncomfort-able with.

Ann wanted toconserve her land

intact, but she

didnt want it tolie fallow andneglected.

To Ann, it is im-portant that the

land is used, asshe is a farmer at

heart. Haying andlivestock production will be allowed in the future. Ann also asked to lim

future livestock numbers, protecting the pastures from overgrazing andamage through mismanagement. Future timber harvests will be restrictedyet Ann wants to allow new owners to be able to use any downed trees on th

land. By including such details Ann was able to define the terms of thagreement according to her values, continuing her familys long history

thoughtful land management well into the future.

Anns advice to other landowners contemplating land conservation is that the

should investigate, study up! Ask lots of questions and take your timeAnn notes that many people misunderstood the idea behind a conservatio

easement. They think the government owns it, and thats not it at all!

Working with a non-profit land conservation organization like Capitol Land Tru

can be a rewarding experience. Nothinwas pushed on me, Ann says. This is

passion with me. I knew it had to b

done. When questioned about hedecision to forgo subdivision and th

potential profits she could earn, Anshrugged. Money is not everything, sh

says. Her children are well establisheand will still be able to sell the land

they chose to do so.

For Ann, there is nowhere else she wourather live. By placing a conservatioeasement on the land, Ann protects th

history of farming here, but also ifuture. Anns hope is that these beautif

60 acres with an historic barn will remaaffordable for a farmer of simila

commitment in years to come.

re

A key component of a healthy Puget Sound isfunctional lowland stream systems. One of the

largest in the South Sound is Goldsborough Creekin Mason County. The Creek flows 14 miles east

from timberlands owned by Green DiamondResource Company into the City of Shelton and

Oakland Bay/Hammersley Inlet.

South Sound was once a mecca for lowland

stream habitat, but it has largely disappeared.

Goldsborough is one of the remaining gems. Thewatershed has a relatively low level of land

development upstream of Shelton and extensive

forestlands. That means it will take less effort andmoney to restore and sustain some semblance ofa healthy watershed.

Like all lowland streams, Goldsborough Creekdoes not begin in snowy mountains like larger

rivers do, but in a series of low elevation

wetlands. It then cuts down through a smallcanyon to the downtown delta. Streamflow issustained by rainfall in the winter and

groundwater in the summer. Healthy lowland

habitat is a favorite for a variety of salmonspecies, including coho. Cool, clean water seeping

from the ground into the stream during summerattracted and sustained abundant fisheries.

Lowland streams rife with large woody debrisprovide ideal shelter. The headwater wetlands in

particular are excellent places for juvenile coho tofeed and rest. Goldsborough has always had

healthy lowland habitat, but fish did not alwayshave access to the upper watershed. A dam

blocked fish passage a couple miles upstream ofShelton from 1881 to 2001. The dam at various

times served as a source of hydro power for

Shelton and a water source for the Simpson millson the waterfront.

In 2001, the Army Corps of Engineers removed

the dam with the strong support of SimpsonTimber Company, Green Diamond Resource

Company, the Squaxin Island Tribe, and the WAState Dept. of Fish and Wildlife. This was terrific

news for salmon. Prior to dam removal almost allspawning occurred in the very lower reaches of

Goldsborough Creek and likely in Coffee Creek.

The small amount of available habitat limited the

number of coho that could spawn. After the damwas removed, coho shifted to spawning further

upstream, where new and better habitat was now

available. And since there is more room for cohoto spawn there, the number of juveniles leaving

the 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 Salmon

Recovery Funding Board, Capitol Land Trust

purchased a 40-acre property along GoldsboroughCreek. The Rose property is located just below the

confluence of the north and south forks. It

encompasses some of the prime headwaterwetlands coho love. The Rose property adds to 20acres of similar habitat already conserved just 1/4

mile upstream on the south fork of Goldsborough

Creek.

Downstream from the Rose property, Capitol Land

Trust and Mason County are working to conservemigratory habitat adjacent to the former damsite. In addition to our efforts along Goldsborough

Creek, we are also working on important tributar-

With spring on the way, Capitol Land Trustsrestoration season is heating up. At least three

different projects are in the works for March and

April, each with its own unique history, challenges

and goals.

Now that the Land Trust has officially become theowner of the Randall property on Mud Bay, theprocess of restoring a habitat that has long been

impacted by human uses can begin in earnest. In

partnership with People for Puget Sound we led avolunteer crew of about ten people on March 4th

to continue collect-

ing debris that hasaccumulated aroundthe property and

controlling invasive

plants, includingpoison hemlockwhich is classified by

the county as anoxious weed.

green hemlock and Scotch broomwere easy to distinguish against a

background of still-dormant grasses

and shrubs. People for Puget Sound

also provided about thirty native shrubs includingocean spray and snowberry that we planted in the

area along Mud Bay Road to fill in bare spotswithin the otherwise quite successful plantingsthat had been done in that area several years

ago. While they may seem small, these are

important steps towards restoring one of southPuget Sounds most important estuaries.

Two more volunteer events were held on theweekend March 14th and 15th. On Saturday, weworked at the Oakland Bay County Park,

conserved in 2005. Malaney Creek runs through

the property and into Oakland Bay providinghabitat for chum and coho salmon as well ascountless other creatures. Much of the riparian

and 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 under-standing of civic engagement. Together withMason Conservation Districts AmeriCorps

member, Chris Anderson, we adopted the Oakland

Bay site as our Project. We have been working

since January to coordinate the restoration effortand prepare the site, culminating in Saturdays

event when we planted almost 500 native treesand shrubs with a cadre of volunteers.

Despite inclement weather, the following day saw

the Land Trust team out at the Green Cove Creekwetlands in West Olympia. The 500 trees andshrubs planted on Sunday were a result of a grant

from the HomeStreet Bank Tree Challenge thatwe received in 2007. Ben Alexander from SoundNative Plants created a plan for the project to

help restore native vegetation to the small upland

portion 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 plant

trees and start the process of restoring these

critical habitats. To get involved with futurerestoration projects, contact Noah at(360) 943-3012, [email protected].

This flowering shrub, also known as Scot's broom (Cytisus scoparius),

is an invasive plant that grows commonly throughout the Puget Sound

region.

Native to the pea family, Scotch broom was originally introduced from

Europe as an ornamental and for erosion control in the 1800s. Rumorhas it the plant was used as a packing material during the Gold Rush,

keeping precious cargo (such as whiskey) safe.

Today it covers many acres west of the Cascades from British Columbiato California. Scotch broom is highly aggressive and forms dense,

monoculture stands, pushing out other plants and trees, destroyingnatural habitat. Because it is a threat to native plant species and

indirectly to animals that feed on the displaced plants, Scotch broom is

a Class B noxious weed in Washington State.

One of the main reasons Scotch broom is so prolific is that it is a prolificseed producer. The seeds have hard coats enabling them to survive in the environment for up to 80

years. The only way to successfully eradicate Scotch broom is to pull it up before the seeds emerge,

making sure to take up the entire root. The plants can be dried and then burned; burying or mulching

is not recommended, since the roots may revive and start growing again.

ies such as Coffee Creek. Coffee Creekflows into Goldsborough just outside of

Sheltons city limits. Its headwaters arelocated four miles outside of town in the

lowland forests of Shelton Valley. Prior to

dam removal, Coffee Creek spawned thebulk of the coho exiting Goldsborough

Creek.

In 2009, Ann Olli donated a conservation

easement on her farm (see front page

article) to ensure it will remain productivewhile protecting the headwaters of Coffee

Creek and other streams and springs.The Land Trust is working with other land-

owners in the valley to conserve anadditional 260 acres of wetlands, forest

and farm land, and creeks.

Thanks to the leadership efforts of the

South Puget Sound Salmon EnhancementGroup, Capitol Land Trust and other local

nonprofits received funding from theNational Fish and Wildlife Foundation. This funding will be used to evaluate additional areas in the

Goldsborough Creek watershed which are ripe for conservation and restoration. With this watershed

assessment of the area, the Land Trust will focus its efforts in areas where conservation will make thegreatest impact.
