In 2015 the Small Habitat Restoration Program (SHRP) constructed and maintained 33 habitat projects to enhance and restore streams, wetlands, and riparian buffers throughout King County. SHRP staff worked with 17 private property owners.

• 20 new construction or planting projects;
• 13 projects maintained and monitored;
• 5,620 lineal feet of streambank restored;
• 17.31 acres of riparian buffer enhanced;
• 2,100 linear feet of nearshore or marine shoreline restored;
• 38 pieces of large woody debris installed; and
• 18,873 native trees and shrubs planted.

In 2015, grant funding for SHRP totaled over $142,000. Forging new partnerships and strengthening relationships with grant agencies and private landowners maximizes public funding.
