SEQUIM — City officials are bartering water for trail access to state Department of Fish and Wildlife land north of Carrie Blake Park.
On Wednesday, the City Council offered Fish and Wildlife reuse water for irrigating its Garry oak project.
Garry oaks are native to the Sequim area.
Fish and Wildlife Volunteer Project Coordinator Bob Steelquist said the agency purchased the property as a site to grow oak trees in thicker forest and savannah-style plantings.
The council wants Fish and Wildlife to allow public trail access through the property in exchange for water.
