Wetland Mitigation
The Cosumnes Floodplain Mitigation Bank is a 472-acre site located at the confluence of the Cosumnes and Mokelumne Rivers, in Sacramento County. Ideally positioned within the Sacramento-San Joaquin Secondary Delta along one of the last undammed rivers in California, the bank contributes to the restoration and protection of natural floodplain and essential fish habitat along the lower Cosumnes River. The project adds to a broader conservation effort along the Cosumnes River within the Cosumnes River Preserve, a joint conservation effort spearheaded by The Nature Conservancy, California Department of Fish and Game, and the Bureau of Land Management.
