ABSTRACT

In fall 2007 and 2008, large sections of levee were breached on the Williamson River Delta Preserve, a former wetland in south-central Oregon that was drained for agriculture over 60 years ago. Breaching resulted in the re-connection of the entire delta to the surrounding water bodies. A new monitoring program was developed in 2008 to track the response of vegetation to hydrologic restoration. The first year of post-breaching vegetation monitoring was completed on the Tulana portion of the property in 2008 and in 2009, monitoring was initiated on the Goose Bay portion of the property. This report describes the first-year post breaching results from Goose Bay.
