Clallam Conservation District's Dungeness River Levee Setback Revegetation project has restored 43 acres of floodplain habitat. During five planting events, volunteers and Washington Conservation Corps crew members installed nearly 23K native trees and shrubs in the ground. This effort addressed decades of floodplain dysfunction caused by the levee— improving river health by reducing flow velocities, creating pools for fish, and cooling water temperatures. Amazing work, Clallam CD!
