Using large wood in flood risk reduction and ecological restoration projects in King County
Welcome! Online Open House Aug. 3-14
Please browse through the below tabs, organized by river basin, to read about upcoming projects that will place large wood in rivers and streams to reduce flood risks and improve habitat.
Annually, the King County Water and Land Resources Division presents information about the use of large wood in designing flood risk reduction and ecological restoration projects. To protect public and employee safety from COVID-19 infection, all project information will be presented in this Online Open House with a live, online presentation on Wednesday, Aug. 5. That meeting will be recorded and placed on this open house site for the convenience of those who could not attend the live version.
Information about 11 projects is organized by river basin in the tabs above. And at the bottom of each basin page, there is an opportunity to provide comments or ask questions.
The final tab is a survey if you’d like to help us learn more about your interest in, and relationship to, rivers.
Video of Aug. 5 online presentation is now available.
