Project Overview
Basics
River Island Natural Area Restoration
Completed
Nestled on the Clackamas River just upstream from Barton Park, River Island provides 240 acres of habitat for plants and wildlife, including endangered salmon and steelhead, native turtles and migratory birds. Metro worked with community members and experts to design plans to restore fish and wildlife habitat and improve water quality at this voter-protected natural area.
Project partners include: Clackamas River Basin Council, Portland General Electric, Clackamas County, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. U.S. Forest Service.
