ABSTRACT

Establishing native wetland vegetation in restored wetlands is an integral component of the Williamson River Delta Preserve's restoration goals. In fall 2007, large sections of levee were breached on the Tulana portion of the property, resulting in re-connection to the surrounding water bodies. The substantial change in the hydrologic regime at the delta has warranted the development of a new monitoring program to track the response of vegetation to hydrologic restoration. The first year of post-breaching vegetation monitoring was completed on Tulana in 2008. This report describes the methods used to monitor the vegetation and the first-year post breaching results.
