CommentsA new Web site offers quick and easy access to information about Washington’s public wildlife lands.
The site, wdfw.wa.gov/lands/wildlife_areas, includes descriptions of the state Department of Fish and Wildlife’s wildlife areas, maps, directions, water access sites and amenities. Each wildlife area’s management plan is also posted on the site.
With its up-to-date information, the new Web site is a resource for people who want to learn more about the department’s wildlife areas and recreational opportunities, said Jennifer Quan, lands division manager.
Users can search by wildlife area, county or region. Once they make a selection, they’ll find even more information about the area, how to get there and what is available, Quan said.
The department oversees about 900,000 acres of public land divided into 32 designated wildlife areas across the state. The lands are managed to protect fish and wildlife species, preserve habitat and provide recreational opportunities. The department also maintains more than 150 water access sites, which provide boating access to lakes, rivers and marine areas in or near state wildlife areas.
Information on water access sites is also online at wdfw.wa.gov/lands/water_access/index.html.
