The property has outstanding riparian and floodplain natural resource values, which provide an opportunity to enhance, restore, and manage high quality spawning and rearing habitat for Endangered Species Act-listed Mid-Columbia River steelhead (threatened) and Columbia River bull trout (threatened), as well as summer/fall-run Chinook salmon and other native fish species.
