BACKGROUND
The Napa River Estuary Enhancement and Public Access Project (Project) is a restoration and passive recreation project located about 0.5 Miles south of the terminus of South Jefferson Street. Located in the South Wetlands Opportunity Area created by the Flood Project in 2001, the Project is proposing to restore approximately 46 acres of previously vineyard land back to wetlands. A levee surrounds the restoration area and will function as a trail after project completion. The property was purchased in 2024 with grant funds from the State Coastal Conservancy and the State of California Department of Parks and Recreation.
