Wildlife Restoration

Development of the South Waterfront neighborhood also includes plans to provide and restore habitat for wildlife. The plants in the bioswales, ecoroofs, gardens, and parks provide shelter and food for birds. These plants benefit both the native and migratory birds that pass through South Waterfront. Treatment of all storm water will help restore the health of the Willamette; plans to lessen the Greenway riverbank grade and provide improved plant cover along the shoreline will also benefit local salmon.
