Crowell Preserve

Conserved in 2023

Property Overview:

• Over 20 acres of native vegetation, notably tall western redcedars and hardwoods like Oregon ash plus 1.6 acres of tidelands and 400 feet of Puget Sound shoreline on Hammersley Inlet near Shelton, WA.
• 2,000 feet of a perennial stream skirts the western edge of the property and drains into Puget Sound where it creates a small estuary.
• This watershed is a high priority for salmon recovery. Chum, coho, steelhead, and coastal cutthroat trout use the marine nearshore habitat as they migrate.
• Habitat for migratory waterfowl, songbirds, shorebirds, and marine mammals.

Thank you to the following partners:

• Barb Crowell and Dave Krawchuk
