Wetland in Willits’ Little Lake Valley is thriving

You can hear more about the state of the wetlands here, on KZYX radio’s website. 

After six years of restoration and conservation, the 2,087 acre Willits Bypass Wetland in the Little Lake Valley is thriving — filled with thousands of native animals and almost two million native plants, according to two Mendocino County Resource Conservation District (MCRCD) employees, who work alongside CalTrans — wildlife biologist Marisela de Santa Ana and project manager Chris Barstow. The wetland, a mitigation project, is a result of the Willits Bypass on the U.S. Route 101.
