Category Overview
Urban Wildlife Habitat projects fund close-to-home places to play and explore nature. As our urban areas are increasingly expanding and densifying, these grants protect important fish and wildlife habitat within five miles of densely populated areas, creating green refuges that help keep our ecosystems healthy and provide places to enjoy nature right in our backyards.
Project Highlights
This development project enhances the diversity of landscape types in the existing Mercer Slough by constructing features conducive to native wildlife. Elements of the project include building new ponds, marshes, meadows, and swamps for the 168 wildlife species that frequent the slough.
