See how King County will use large wood to reduce flood risks and restore habitat for fish and wildlife

The public online meeting is scheduled for 3 to 5 p.m. on Nov. 6. To register, visit kingcounty.gov/LargeWood.

King County uses large wood — such as fallen trees, old stumps, root wads, and branches — in levee repairs and flood risk-reduction projects, many of which are funded by the King County Flood Control District. The placed wood redirects river currents, prevents erosion, and creates pools that offer protection for native salmon, enhancing their survival. It also provides food and habitat for aquatic insects.

The 12 projects being presented at the meeting are:

• Tabor-Crowall-Brodell Revetments Repair, The Rutledge Johnson, and Belmondo Levee Repair Project on the Cedar River
• Desimone Major Repair and Improvement Project, Fort Dent Levee Repair, and Auburn Narrows on the Green River
• Carey Creek, Momb Revetment Repair on Issaquah Creek
• Lower Frew Levee Setback on the Tolt River
• North Fork Snoqualmie River Confluence Revetment Removal, Dutchman Road Revetment Repair, and Stossel Right Bank Revetment Improvement Project on the Snoqualmie River
