Marsh Wren Little Salt Creek

Located at the confluence of Little Salt Creek and Salt Creek on the Marsh Wren Community Wetland, this camera looks upstream along Little Salt Creek. Both creeks were channelized and straightened long ago, primarily for flood control. The result has been deepening and widening of previously shallow channels that frequently connected with the floodplain. Once seen along the banks, the unique saline characteristics will be mimicked here by modifying the existing banks and constructing saline habitat shelves that scientists and engineers believe will once again provide habitat for the endangered Salt Creek tiger beetle.
