Description

Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission hired The Watershed Company to assess wetland conditions and restoration opportunities in 17 State Park properties (~28,000 acres). Biologists evaluated existing conditions and identified specific prospective project areas for restoration. Analysis of wetland function for existing and potential restored conditions included assessment of water quality, hydrologic, and habitat functions.
