Blog: Nine-thousand trees for Salton Sea wildlife marsh habitat
Nine-thousand trees, mostly willows, are being planted in the 1,000 acre Managed Marsh wildlife habitat in northern Imperial County. The planting is part of the final construction phase of the Managed Marsh, located off Highway 111 between the city of Calipatria and Niland. Funded by the Quantification Settlement Agreement Joint Powers Authority (QSA JPA), the habitat, located close to the Salton Sea, is a key environmental mitigation project to serve the needs of wildlife that depend on area surface drains in the Imperial Valley.
