Hamilton Wetland Restoration Project, Wetland restoration site in Novato, California.
The Hamilton Wetland Restoration Project spans 648 acres of tidal marsh, creating habitats for wildlife species along the northwestern shore of San Pablo Bay.
The land transformed from agricultural fields in the early 1900s to Hamilton Army Airfield in the 1920s before becoming a restoration project approved by Congress in 1999.
Local bird watchers frequent the Bay Trail segment adjacent to the wetlands, contributing to environmental education and wildlife observation activities.
The restoration project incorporates 5.9 million cubic yards of dredge material from the Port of Oakland to establish proper elevations for wetland development.
The site features specialized wind-wave berms that reduce water energy, while supporting both seasonal and tidal wetland environments for native species populations.
