DESCRIPTION
Snohomish County is moving forward on designs for a floodplain restoration project at Bob Heirman Wildlife Park. The new Snohomish County Department of Conservation and Natural Resources' Surface Water Management and Parks Divisions worked in collaboration with several community stakeholders, agencies, and Tribes to develop a project design that maintains or improves access to fishing, hiking and wildlife viewing while restoring critical habitat for wildlife and threatened salmon species. Proposed future restoration actions include removal of levee (or portion), side channel connection, edge habitat enhancements, large wood placement, and riparian planting.
