Basics
Wister Unit Marsh Bird Habitat Restoration
Planning/Design
A bird habitat restoration project is proposed for development of 150 acres at the Wister Unit of the Imperial Wildlife Area. The area has historically been operated for waterfowl and other wildlife. The project envisions ponds that may support wetland species such as Ridgeway’s Rail, Black Rail, other secretive marsh birds and other avian species. The project may include interpretive signs, walking trails, and a viewing platform to support recreational use of the marsh. The project will include the establishment of a greenhouse facility to propagate plants for restoration projects. Land access is not required at this site because this is part of a CDFW wildlife area.
