The new boardwalk at Mirror Pond in Bend, OR, now provides full ADA accessibility along a previously challenging section of trail. Inter-Fluve completed hydraulic modeling to predict sediment depositional and scour patterns, inform planting plans of native riparian and aquatic plants, and support design of habitat for native fish species. Congrats to @HDR and all involved for making this happen, and to Engineers and Geoscientists British Columbia for the nice write-up. #SustainableDesign #AccessibilityForAll #TrailImprovements
This might look like a Halloween decoration, but decaying salmon play a key role in nourishing the lush forests on Taan (Prince of Wales Island) and throughout the Pacific Northwest. Their final journey brings vital nutrients to the towering trees and rich ecosystems of the PNW. Nature’s ultimate recycling! #HalloweenScience #PrinceOfWalesIsland #EcosystemHeroes #pnw #salmon #environmentalrestoration
