Saving a Natural Legacy
The mission of the Nisqually Land Trust is to conserve and restore natural areas and wildlife habitat throughout the Nisqually River watershed and to protect those lands in perpetuity.
Nisqually Land Trust Acquires Wildlife Habitat Near Mount Rainier National Park
This 404-acre purchase is the largest in the Land Trust’s history and is the first phase in our Mount Rainier Gateway Initiative, which calls for the permanent protection of 4,500 acres of timberlands near the main entrance to Mount Rainier National Park. This first step provides protected habitat for threatened species including spotted owls, marbled murrelets, and bald eagles.

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. The Nisqually Land Trust was established in 1989 to protect wildlife habitat threatened by the consequences of rapid population growth. Today it conserves and restores nearly 1700 acres in the Nisqually watershed.
