rehabilitate approximately L acre of tidal marsh degraded by vehicle and foot-traffic.

a 24-foot by I6-foot viewing platform (diagram below) to he used as an outdoor education
facility by local school groups and as a wildlife viewing platform by the public Restoration of
the wetllnd vegetation will be accomplished by removing the compacted soil and disposing of it
at an appropriate upland location. If necessary material dredged (i.e. river sediment) from the
City of Kenai's boat launch will be placed where the compacted overburden was removed. Re-
vegetation will be accomplished by collecting vegetation plugs with clam guns from the adjacent
tidal marsh.. Spatial zonation of plant species is typical of tidal marshes and re-vegetation efforts
will mimic the natural zonation by collecting and planting in the same spatial zone. The
Watershed Forum will contract the design and construction of the outdoor education facility.
