Keller Farm Mitigation Bank

The 75-acre Keller Farm Mitigation Bank is located in King County. The bank is approved for mitigation use.

Standing water with new wetland vegetation of grasses, reeds, and sedges growing around the edges

Recent plantings of emergent vegetation growing within the newly established wetland area.

A large tree root placed in a narrow slow moving stream creating fish refuge with dense wetland foliage surrounding the water's edge

Logs provide habitat and vegetation along the edge which helps keep the water cool for aquatic species.

Narrow logs strategically placed within shallow water to create fish refuge with wetland vegetation of reeds and sedges growing around the edges of the water

Narrow logs (also known as engineered log jams) placed in the water create fish refuge.

New wetland vegetation growing up amongst the grasses with a bird perch and birdhouse providing refuge for fauna in the background

A birdhouse and perch installed in the wetland provide refuge for birds.

Standing water showing through the recently planted wetland vegetation with taller elevations of trees, shrubs, and flowers in the distance

Emergent wetland areas interspersed with upland mounds creates habitat diversity.
