Beginning of the planting phase of the Julie J. Metz Wetlands Bank on Neabsco Creek, northern Virginia, one of the first entrepreneurial banks.
Julie J. Metz Wetlands Management Mitigation Bank will have a mosaic of palust rine forest, shrub-scrub emergent wetland, and upland habitat. The bank is dedicated in honor of Julie J. Metz, a Corps biologist who co-chaired the staff-level effort to develop the Federal banking guidance and who recently passed away from cancer at the age 38.
