South Bachelor Island Restoration

Location: Strip of land to the west of the Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge

CREST partnered with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife to complete the South Bachelor Island Restoration project in 2019. The project removed 120,000 cubic yards of dredge material sands, creating a new ½ mile long channel from a floodplain wetland to the Columbia River, opening 40 acres of important floodplain habitat for full outmigrating juvenile salmon use that will increase their survivability odds on their way to the open ocean.

Project partners:
Bonneville Power Administration
US Fish and Wildlife Service
Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife
Washington Department of Natural Resources

CREST's mission is to provide locally-based, high quality environmental planning, habitat restoration, and research services to the Columbia-Pacific Region."
