This project permanently protected, through conservation easement and fee simple acquisition, and nearly restored an entire functional coastal wetland ecosystem totaling 76 acres, including 49 acres of declining tidal estuarine and freshwater wetlands and approximately 21 additional acres of hydric soils. The restoration included freshwater emergent and shrub/forested wetlands and riparian forests. Further, 6 acres of former agriculture lands were restored to upland buffer adjacent to Donovan Creek. Restoration actions included re-meandering approximately 1,800 feet of the channelized portion of Donovan Creek, adding large woody debris for habitat value (approximately 120 pieces) and replanting approximately 25 acres of riparian corridor along the newly meandered channel. The secondary goal of contributing to and expanding on the estuarine conservation efforts and freshwater/marine habitat connections already accomplished in Quilcene Bay was achieved.
