Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) proposed to fund the acquisition of the of the 72.75 Doramus property by the Kalispel. BPA will be granted a perpetual conservation easement over the entire property as a condition of funding the acquisition. The property is being acquired because of its outstanding riparian and floodplain natural resource values. The acquisition is an opportunity to enhance, restore, and manage habitat associated with Trimble Creek for Canada goose, mallard, Savannah sparrow, Lincoln sparrow, bobolink, white-tailed deer, elk, and coyote; and other species dependent on riparian habitat for their survival. The easement will protect the conservation values for which the property is being acquired by restricting activity such as residential, non-agricultural, commercial, and industrial development. The property also contains a shed and a hay barn.
