Oregon's Siletz Bay wetland restoration project to revive 37 acres of tidal habitat

A restoration project is currently underway at Siletz Bay National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon, targeting 37 acres of degraded wetlands. Workers are filling in old drainage ditches and digging new tidal channels to improve the area's ecological health. The initiative aims to bring back historical floodplain conditions by allowing natural tidal flows to resume. The project is expected to benefit local wildlife by enhancing both habitat quality and water conditions in the refuge.
