Our Projects

Restore 1,600 acres of former agricultural land into a resilient landscape of tidal marsh, seasonal wetlands, alkali meadows, and uplands, supporting wildlife habitat, protecting surrounding communities, and advancing large-scale climate adaptation.

WRA partnered with the State Coastal Conservancy to guide the first phase of construction and ensure restoration success. Our team:

• Oversaw construction of new wetlands and a flood control levee.
• Provided environmental compliance, biological monitoring for sensitive species, and public outreach.
• Conducted annual vegetation surveys, hydrology monitoring, and adaptive management.
• Designed hydrology improvements, managed invasive species, and coordinated grazing to promote native plants.
• Supported levee inspections, erosion repairs, and pump station maintenance.
• Advised the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers design team for Phase 2, including sediment management planning, regulatory coordination, and resilient hydrology design.

Phase 1 established thriving wetland habitat and a foundation for long-term restoration. Ongoing monitoring and adaptive management ensure these wetlands continue to improve in ecological function. Insights from Phase 1 are directly shaping Phase 2, which restores nearly 1,000 acres of tidal marsh while reducing long-term maintenance needs. Together, these efforts represent one of the largest tidal wetland restorations in the region.
