Over the years, Friends of Pinole Creek Watershed has partnered with local organizations to implement restoration projects at different sites in the watershed.

Ecological restoration seeks to restore native habitat function to a site. Ecologically restored sites create habitat for native plants and wildlife and preform other ecosystem functions like water filtration, flood control, carbon sequestration, and public access. Oftentimes, restoration will be prioritized after a disturbance event such as development, channelization, or other land disturbance. Examples of ecological restoration include:

• Removal of invasive plants; planting native plants

• Increasing habitat connectivity for wildlife

• Stabilizing creek banks with native plantings

• Day-lighting creek channels

• And more!
