check out how beautifully green this functioning wetland is. Surrounding trees include birch, hawthorn, willow, plum, bird cherry, alder, cottonwood & Doug Fir. Under the current plan, this entire area will be CLEARED and sediment bags placed directly *on top of* the entire green wetland. You can see the Fanno Creek Trail on the periphery of the video.

Wetlands are areas where water covers soil all or part of the time. Wetlands are important because they protect and improve water quality, provide fish & wildlife habitats, store floodwaters and maintain surface water flow during dry periods.
