IID’s Climate Action Day focuses on a cleaner Brawley Wetlands
After a less successful attempt in 2012, the Imperial Irrigation District found triumph for its Community Climate Action Day, as the agency partnered with a coalition of state and national groups to improve the climate around the Shank Alamo Wetlands located east of Brawley. The goal to plant hundreds of native plants that would benefit the overall conditions of the wetland was easily attained as the expected number of around 40 volunteers was surpassed, with more than double the amount of expected volunteers turning out to make a change on Saturday, May 17. … The Shank Alamo Wetlands help avoid flooding and create biodiversity for the local ecosystem, but they also serve as a crucial part of keeping the Salton Sea clean, as the wetland treats drainage water that runs into it.
