The Forests and Fish Report, in conjunction with its Habitat Conservation Plan and Adaptive Management Program, is the implementation of a 50-year one-of-a-kind statewide program that covers over nine million acres of state and private forest lands. This program provides coverage and an Incidental Take Permit for Endangered Species Act-covered species like fish and for federal Clean Water Act Assurances.
The Adaptive Management Program provides technical information and science-based recommendations to assist the Washington State Forest Practices Board in making decisions for rule changes and providing guidance for the management and protection of aquatic resources. In addition, the UCUT remain active in the Timber, Fish, and Wildlife agreement and its associated programs, processes, and statewide efforts.
