Tolay Creek
Wetland Restoration Project
The Tolay Creek restoration project's goal is to restore 435 acres
of diked, historic wetlands to tidal salt marsh, providing critical
habitat for threatened and endangered species.
The Tolay Creek
Biotechnical Levee Enhancement project is designed to improve wetland-upland
transitional habitat and improve levee integrity of the Tolay Creek
site. Primary activity will be to enhance earthen levees (which
are part of the Tolay Creek tidal restoration) by installing geotextile
fabric, and establishing native vegetation. Native grasses and shrubs
will be planted to provide habitat and protect the levee slope by
reducing the threat of soil erosion. This project will enhance transitional
upland habitat for small mammals (including salt marsh harvest mouse),
and provide high-water refuge habitat. The upland vegetation will
also provide cover for ground-nesting birds, as well as provide
protection from wave action for this critical perimeter levee.
