About the Program
The Boeing Plant 2 program is located on the Duwamish River in King County, Washington. The Duwamish River forms the lower part of the Green River.

Restoring the site by reconstructing a natural landscape and maintaining native trees, shrubs and grasses has brought native wildlife back to the area, including salmon species.

Practices and Impacts
- At this site, the team is restoring five acres of riparian and intertidal wetland habitat.
- The project benefits from regular maintenance and monitoring to assess and meet habitat needs, such as retaining woody debris in place to create shelter and adding native plants.
- Monitoring has confirmed presence of native fish including salmonids, and the team coordinates with a local forum aiming to help restore habitat for salmon along the river.
