Upper Newport Bay Restoration

Join OCH in the Upper Newport Bay as we restore the ecological reserve 's salt marsh habitat through invasive plant removal. This habitat is important for resident and migrating species year-round. With ongoing human related impacts, these habitats are in constant need of restoration efforts and we are excited to be able to help. As we work, important species information will be discussed relating to the habitats and species therein.
