swordfern (Polystichum munitum). This area provides a variety of perches, hiding and thermal cover, and food resources.Additionally, the presence of Silver Creek affords opportunities to wildlife that require streams for part of their life history. The value of habitat in this area is limited by the dominance of English ivy, English holly, and Himalayan blackberry throughout much of the corridor. 5.1.3 Silver Lake,Wetland A, and Nearshore Habitats Silver Lake, Wetland A, and unmaintained nearshore habitat border the development site to the north and west. Vegetation along the fringe of the wetland is dense and shrubby with a canopy dominated by western red cedar, black cottonwood, and red alder. The understory in this area is diverse and complex. Near the southern portion of the wetland dominant shrubs include English holly (Ilex aquifolium), Himalayan blackberry, salmonberry, and hardhack (Spiraea douglasii). North of the development, there is salmonberry, hardhack, red-osier dogwood (Cornus sericea), red elderberry, and osoberry. Waterward of the ordinary high watermark, vegetation includes emergent and aquatic bed species such as yellow pond-lily(Nuphar lutea)and broadleaf cattail(Typha latifolia). This habitat includes special habitat features such as large woody debris and snags that provide unique opportunities to wildlife in the area. The lake shore provides a water source to wildlife and dense vegetation creates opportunities for refuge and thermal cover. This habitat type extends further off-site and is part of a larger wetland system. K t. Figure 4—Unmaintained vegetation in Wetland A on south end of Silver Lake.
