Ninth District
Receives Grant for DeForest Wetlands
Restoration!
 On Tuesday, the state of California announced that
the City of Long Beach has received a $2.5 million River Parkways
grant for the DeForest Wetlands Restoration Project. I am excited
to know that Ninth District residents will be able to enjoy the
beauty and recreational amenities of this restored wetlands area
for generations to come.
The project will involve re-grading slopes to
restore stream flow and trails for 34 acres of historic freshwater
wetlands, restoring wildlife habitat, providing passive recreation
with ADA accessible trails, and adding interpretive signage along a
one-mile reach of the lower Los Angeles River in a floodwater
detention basin while retaining flood control properties. Specific
restoration planting plans
include:
Low Riparian (2 acres), Existing Native Vegetation Enhancement (2
acres), Freshwater Marsh (.10 acres), High Riparian (1.5 acres),
Wetland Riparian (3 acres), Native Scrub, (17 acres), Sycamore-Oak
Woodland, (4 acres), Valley Grassland (5 acres), and Vernal Pool
(1.25 acres).
Construction is expected to begin in summer
2011.
I would like to thank the State of California
Resources Agency, the California Coastal Conservancy, Los Angeles
County Prop A River Fund and Los Angeles County Supervisor Don
Knabe, and the California Rivers and Mountains Conservancy for
their support.
