The Yuma East Wetlands is considered a model for wetlands restoration in the desert Southwest and is led by a partnership between the Heritage Area, Quechan Indian Tribe, City of Yuma, and Arizona Game and Fish Department.
Restoration activities were initiated in 2004 and nearly 400 acres have been transformed from a trash dump filled with hobo camps into a mosaic of marsh, mesquite, cottonwood, and willows which provide habitat for an array of wildlife species.
A few of the most notable species discovered since the East Wetlands was created include the endangered Ridgway's Rail (Yuma Clapper Rail), and the presence and successful breeding of the endangered Yellow-Billed Cuckoo. lcrmscp.gov/conservation/yuma_east_wetlands.html

The Yuma East Wetlands, a collaborative effort involving the Heritage Area, Quechan Indian Tribe, City of Yuma, and Arizona Game and Fish Department, exemplifies successful desert Southwest wetlands restoration. Started in 2004, the project has revitalized nearly 400 acres from a former landfill and hobo camps into a diverse landscape of marshes, mesquite, cottonwood, and willows. This transformation has fostered habitats crucial for various wildlife species, including the endangered Ridgway's Rail (Yuma Clapper Rail) and successful breeding grounds for the endangered Yellow-Billed Cuckoo. There are nice, wide dirt paths through here, but they can be a little sandy.
