DESCRIPTION
Codiga Farms Park is located on the east bank of the Duwamish River, off 50th Place South at the foot of the S 129th Street overpass of I-5. This project improves a riparian corridor of Codiga Park for juvenile Chinook salmon habitat. The riparian area is approximately 2 acres and 1,000 linear feet. This area was cleared of invasive plant species in phases from 2008-2010 with the help of community volunteers and EarthCorps crews under People For Puget Sound's management. The area is currently being maintained and monitored by volunteers called Puget Sound Stewards who are managed by EarthCorps. Ongoing maintenance and monitoring of the still young native plants is anticipated for the next 5 years at minimum as long as there is funding and landowner support.
