The public is invited to learn more about the Duckabush Estuary Restoration Project in Jefferson County at an in-person open house from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, May 4, at the Brinnon Community Center, 306144 U.S. 101.
The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) is hosting the open house to provide an update on the restoration project and answer questions. The project will reconnect the Duckabush River to neighboring floodplains and wetlands by modifying local roads, elevating U.S. 101 to an estuary-spanning bridge, and reconnecting historical tidal and river channels.
WDFW is partnering with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), and Hood Canal Salmon Enhancement Group (HCSEG) on the project.
Attendees are welcome to drop in anytime during the two-hour open house to visit stations detailing various elements of the project. Representatives from WDFW, USACE, WSDOT, and HCSEG will be available to answer questions.
