Why it is a Conservation Priority
The Croy Creek Restoration Project is creating a larger, more naturally functioning wetland along Croy Creek, improving wildlife habitat and water quality in the floodplain, and providing additional recreational and educational opportunities at Lions Park.
What To Do And See:
An ideal close-to-home area to view over 48 bird species and catch a glimpse of
local wildlife.
Visiting Croy Creek Restoration Project:
Located on the west side of the Big Wood River at Lions Park in Hailey. From downtown Hailey, turn west onto Bullion St; continue over Bullion Bridge, turn south to enter Lions Park, and continue beyond the softball fields.
Restoration & Education Goals:
The Croy Creek restoration site is also adjacent to our 85-acre Draper Wood River Preserve. We plan to work with the City of Hailey to connect the restored wetland area to the Draper Wood River Preserve with a trail, boardwalk, and overlook system along the west side of the Big Wood River near the area’s beaver ponds. Interpretive signage along the trail will provide information about the ways wetland areas benefit water quality and wildlife.
