this august, a few friends and i are hosting a camping weekend at navy island, a small nature preserve on the niagara river, just above the falls, between canada and the states.
we're hoping to get a bunch of fun film photographers together to hang out, shoot a ton of film, and just enjoy a weekend of goofing off, bbqs, and–in case this picture is in any way unclear–canadian beer.
From atop Black Hill, Bruce told a great story about the restoration of Chorro Creek's floodplain.
You can read more at the link below and here is a blurb from that doc:
What was done and why?
The Chorro Flats restoration project was a floodplain reconnection project that eliminated flood control levees in order to allow sediment deposition within the Chorro Creek floodplain, upstream of Morro Bay. The long-term viability of Morro Bay has been
threatened by human-accelerated erosion and sediment delivery to the bay, notably from Chorro Creek. In addition to erosion-control efforts in the upper watershed, sediment delivery to the Bay could be reduced by restoring natural processes of overbank flooding and fine sediment deposition on the floodplain. At Chorro Flats, the landowners had moved Chorro Creek to a straightened artificial channel at the southern edge of the
floodplain, flanked by a levee that prevented flows from overflowing onto the floodplain.
The Coastal San Luis Resource Conservation District purchased Chorro Flats and made a pilot breech in the levee in fall 1994. High flows in 1995 resulted in sediment deposition on the floodplain. Encouraged by this initial success, the District constructed a pilot channel across the floodplain, thereby reconnecting the channel and floodplain and including substantial overbank sediment deposition.
