This month the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers San Francisco District will complete the final construction phases of the Hamilton Wetland Restoration Project in Novato, Calif.

Formerly a U.S. Army Airfield, Hamilton is a 988-acre site near Novato, Calif., and the largest active wetland restoration project West of the Everglades. A decade in the making, the project aims to create a complex landscape of seasonal and tidal wetlands, as well as a multi-purpose trail for public access.
