Pre-Construction Surveys in the Delta
Shin Kee is located on the eastern edge of the historic Delta and represented a unique opportunity to restore the full range of Delta habitats, perennial marsh, seasonal wetlands, riparian woodlands and native-dominated uplands. Working with the landowners, A.G. Spanos Companies, we provided final designs and oversaw the implementation of the restoration of this 140-acre site from tomato field to fully functioning wetlands. Today, Shin Kee hosts numerous species of native Delta wildlife, including relatively unusual species such as otters and white pelicans.
