A parcel targeted for restoration on the northwest corner of Ferndale Road and Marine Drive was acquired April 30, 2011. The previous owners harvested all of the poplar trees and sediment erodes off the property and onto the road during rainstorms. Continuing to re-establish riparian areas in the estuary that were previously converted for agriculture will increase habitat diversity, providing sources of nutrients and food resources for salmonids, macroinvertebrates and other terrestrial species.
