A restoration project in the works. Headed by the Buffalo Niagara RiverKeeper.
This projection of land is at a turn in the Buffalo River. It was a farm until the 1950s after which it lay fallow. It became a preferred place for contractors to dump construction debris, to dump stolen cars and municipal garbage. It has also been the site of illicit activity such as drug use and sales and prostitution. It was badly overgrown with invasive plants such as Japanese knotweed, mugwort and phragmites which crowded out the natural flora and animals. It was essentially a dead piece of land.
But the soil is still good. Its advantageous place on teh Buffalo River meant that spring floods brought lots of nutrients and minerals that made it a prime farming location. Farmers, as far back as time, have values land like this and as a result the pollution and trash on the site was mostly on the surface.
Importantly this site is upstream of the heavy industries of Buffalo's manufacturing heyday and so the river is not polluted as the lower Buffalo River is. The lower part of the river is terribly polluted and is currently undergoing dredging to remove this toxic silt. As a result Seneca Bluffs is a place where many fishermen go.
Archeologically this site has been found to be very rich. AT this site and most points along the river there is evidence of human habitation beginning as soon as the glaciers of the last ice age began retreating. Prehistoric people visited and returned every year to farm vegetables such as Jerusalem artichoke. Carved mammoth tusks, chipped stone tools and arrow heads have been found around the river. The last people known to inhabit this site, before the arrival and seizure of land by Europeans, were the Seneca Indians. THey seemed to have traveled north in the spring to the fertile sites along the river and then retreated as winter set in. An archeologist I met said there is evidence of a substantial longhouse directly across the river (under the transformer station) indicating that this site was meaningful to many native people.
Until about 200 years ago the River known by the Senecas as the "River of Basswoods" was thickly flanked by basswood or linden trees. The City and surrounding areas were dense forested marshes, dark from the thick stands of massive hemlocks. Game and fish were apparently very plentiful - hence the reason Native people returned time and time again to this area.
Seeing it now evokes many different feeling. Awe at the arc of history that this site has seen. Despair at the state of it now, the loss of the people who lived here and the knowledge they had of the place. Despair at the loss of such colossal trees and plants and the animals. An dmaybe despair that so many people drive by this site without the faintest knowledge of its history and that we are just the latest people to have visited this site.
For millions of Californians, the July 2019 Ridgecrest earthquakes were a wake-up call to learn more about earthquakes. We interviewed two UCLA experts to debunk some common myths, get some tips for preparedness and learn how researchers are “turning disaster into knowledge.” Click here for the story, and more tips: ucla.in/2PFK9db

One of the five 'Guardians of Knowledge' to be seen on the outside wall of Grimsby Central Library in Town Hall Square.
The five 11 foot figures were designed and built by Mr Peter Todd, who was the Head of the Art Department at Grimsby College at that time. They took him 18 months to make at his studio in Walesby.
To quote North East Lincolnshire Council website "The figures, which were fixed to the front of the library in May 1968, are guardians, protecting the centre of learning and culture"... presumably against the massing hoards of ignorant scrotes that the council believe populate the rest of the town.
