Among the goals of the Mission Reach Ecosystem Restoration and Recreation project, one goal was to restore significant ecological functions and values to a section of the river that had been converted to a channel for flood control. Habitat improvements were a critical part of the design, and benefits of the project include provision of food, water, shelter and space necessary for numerous residential and migratory wildlife species. The San Antonio River serves as an important local habitat corridor, as well as being part of the Central Flyway for migratory birds and a thoroughfare for monarch butterflies. By restoring native plant communities and connecting them throughout this riparian corridor, the project is provides an important home for all types of wildlife.
