Generally, the weirs were seen as types of architectural follies that would be lost or buried in the thick vegetation of willow and native wetland plants.
Students from the 'ESF Goes to Space' class designed and launched a space balloon on a beautiful day in April 2015. The balloon was part of the Global Space Balloon Challenge, a competition that encourages students to try their hand at an engineering challenge and, hopefully, will result in the development of affordable alternates to orbital satellites for data gathering.
