Nisqually Delta Inspires Hogum Bay Land Donation
A desire to contribute to the permanent protection of the Nisqually Delta has inspired Jack and Joyce Walker to donate to the Land Trust their strategic two-acre property overlooking Hogum Bay.
The property adjoins the Land Trust’s 39-acre Hogum Bay Management Unit on the Nisqually Reach. It will help protect water quality in the area by providing a buffer between the estuary and nearby development.

Rising from the meltwaters of an ancient glacier, the Nisqually River courses 78 miles through Mount Rainier National Park to its delta in the Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge, on Puget Sound.
