The Lower Columbia Estuary Project and the city of Washougal are preparing for the Campen Creek Reconnection Project, which will enhance habitat for salmon and other wildlife by reconnecting Campen Creek to its more natural state, while increasing public safety through the removal of hazard trees and improving walking trails for park visitors at Mable Kerr Park (pictured).

One large-scale water quality project is set to begin in Washougal while another is in the early design stages.

The Campen Creek Reconnection Project, coordinated by the Portland-based Lower Columbia Estuary Partnership with assistance from the city of Washougal, is on track to begin in August at Mable Kerr Park.
