Document Description
The Santa Barbara Campus is proposing to perform restoration work in the West Storke wetland located on the Storke Campus. The project includes removing fill and restoring a 20 by 20 meter area with wetland emergent plant species. Approximately 200 cubic meters of soil would be removed from the site. Weed removal would take place along approximately 400 linear meters of the edge of the Storke Wetland. The transitional area would be approximately 5 meters wide and would be planted with native plants. The trail adjacent to the wetland would be restored and enhanced. The restoration work would provide opportunities for educational and community involvement. The project is consistent with LRDP policy 30240(1).1 and is included as work outlined in the Campus Wetland Restoration and Management Plan.
