Carmel River Free Project: Eastwoods’ ranch anchors $57m restoration; homes face lower flood risks

Clint Eastwood's previous artichoke farm is now being transformed into a significant wetland restoration initiative. This remarkable project aims to bolster flood protection for the surrounding communities. With the Eastwoods' generous donation, the area will see restoration of essential riparian and wetland ecosystems, fostering wildlife and promoting a more resilient river system. This change converts agricultural land into vital open space, enhancing both safety and community health.
