Bound on three sides by the Sacramento River, restoration of the Bullock Bend Mitigation Bank re-established connectivity between the river and the historic floodplain through the breach of a farm berm on the south side of the property. The 116-acre bank restores off-channel habitat and assists in the recovery of threatened salmonids, specifically juvenile fall-run, winter-run, and spring-run Chinook.
The property has been identified in the Sacramento River Conservation Area Forum Handbook (2003) as a key location within the planning conservation area appropriate for restoration projects. The site supports the objectives of the Recovery Plan for Sacramento River winter-run Chinook salmon, Central Valley spring-run Chinook salmon, and Central Valley steelhead.
