Essay On Creek Restoration Goals

Geologically speaking, Louisiana is a very young state. Environmentally speaking, Louisiana is a very fragile state. Louisiana has always been dependent upon the nutrient rich deposits from the Mississippi River to build up the land. Centuries ago the Mississippi River periodically changed its course, building up Louisiana one delta at a time. The erosional forces of the Gulf of Mexico and annual hurricanes depleted Louisiana’s coastline, but the mighty Mississippi River would replenish the land losses. Such is the relationship that forces of nature have with one another. Place mankind in the mix, and the relationship becomes stressed and dysfunctional. The present day Louisiana coastline is a mere shadow of its former self. Let’s look

Over the recent years the demand on the parklands have increased, becoming more central to the local community. As a result, this corridor of parkland needs to be maintained and appreciated as a natural area with safe recreational access, and the importance of the creek line should be recognised as both an environmental and recreational area, central to the City of Ryde.

By the end of this report you should have a better perception on the geological landscape of Silver Creek Wetland Complex, and further in-depth knowledge on what stewardship responsibilities fall on you and your relationship with the land you use.

About two hundred forty one thousand two hundred twelve people live in Cumberland County, and all of those people somehow pollute the Conodoguinet Creek. The Conodoguinet Creek is a tributary to the Susquehanna river, which is the longest river on the American East Coast, spanning 464 miles long and draining into the Atlantic ocean. Many things, such as livestock, construction sites, fossil fuels and fertilizers, all go into the Conodoguinet creek. Now, that is A LOT of pollution that can (or will) go into the creek. This does not just affect the Conodoguinet Creek, but everything that the creek drains into, like the Susquehanna river, then the Chesapeake bay, and then the Atlantic ocean, which covers over 20% of thie whole globe! As you

On October 6th 2015, the students of Mattawan’s AP Environmental class took a trip to the local stream of the Mattawan Consolidated Schools area. The purpose of this trip was to conduct a stream study to determine the health, conditions, and pollution levels of this small body of water. A multitude of factors came into play when making a judgement on the stream’s health, and making sure to take all of these essential points was crucial to the study. A variety of thorough experiments were conducted to help make this overlying conclusion, as many students adopted many roles in the study. Students used a physical survey form, water test data sheet, and taxa recording sheet to record their findings. Teamwork was essential in making sure all of this information could be found accurately and efficiently. The combination of all of the final results allowed the class to make a judgement of the stream’s state.

These great sceneries have the power to inspire a great many of people to conserve and protect the natural environment that Florida has to offer. These trees and waterways have a great potential, in that they have the ability to inspire the next generation of scientists and policy writers, simply because they enjoyed walking through the park during their childhoods. This is extremely important, as ecology directly involves how people interact with their environment based off of the knowledge and respect they have for it.

A site called Coobool Creek on the Wakool River, located between Swan Hill and Deniliquin in the Murray River Valley was where G. M. Black accumulated 126 skulls from the suface area near Doherty’s Hut at the Coobool Crossing in 1950 and they were studied by Brown. The 126 crania has been returned to the Aborigines for a reburial. The collection was named the Murray Black collection after G. M. Black who found it and the location in which in was found.

The issue is the idea of the second airport being constructed at Badgerys’s Creek. This affects the environment of Badgerys’s Creek greatly as it can destroy such a beautiful site.

In our Change Project, we collected a sufficient amount of data and learned information on a endangered species, the Ridgway’s Rail. This environmental issue is not very well-known, which explains the lack of help and volunteering. In this service project, our Change group went to Don Edward and help improved the habit of Ridgway’s Rail. Throughout this project, we tried to spread awareness about endangered species and find ways we can enhance their surroundings. My Change group used this opportunity to not only help prevent the extinction of Ridgway’s Rails, but also to help other species that are living in the same habitat. In order to help the Rails, we tried to figure out the reason behind the destruction of the marsh. Through an experienced volunteer, June Smith, we learned that invasive plants are the culprit of the extinction of the Ridgway’s Rails.

Garners Creek is located in Outagamie County, North of Highway CE and East of Highway N. The stream tests were taken on October 18, 2017 at about 10:00 in the morning. There was mild weather and a warm temperature. A few recent rain events occurred before the stream was tested. This caused the stream water levels to be higher than normal and therefore the stream flow was faster.

Factual information is presented about the serious water quality and health risk the Ohio State Park of Buckeye Lake holds. Many warnings have stretched across the news about the astonishing weak dam and the toxic algae issue. There are causes of water pollution which require more solutions. As for the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), Ohio EPA, and the Licking County’s MS4 program pull together for an awareness of Buckeye Lake. Once known as “Central Ohio’s Summering Place”, and famous for the entertainment and the beyond beauty of the lake, now is the shameful place the community wishes to look past. As these issues have caused much trouble, we can only prevent for what is to come in the future.

Leading this team was an incredible opportunity that has shaped my entire approach to fostering community collaboration. I continue to co-chair the advisory board of this grant, and since I have supported additional grant advisory boards, coalition meetings, and integrated resource teams to serve our local community and ensure that we are investing our dollars and time to right areas. The most important lesson I have learned when leading a team and building partnerships, is that the focus must be on collaboration not coordination.

Looking back at my own experiences with working with the community and organizations, I have seen how important it is to have human relationships. Working as an Activity Assistant in a nursing home and a Navy Ombudsman provided many opportunities to see how relationships can be successful with working with others and creating bonds not only with individual, community

Collecting water samples, recording water quality, and measuring stream discharge and velocity at the Northern Unit of the J. Phil Campbell Sr. Research and Education Center and Tanyard Creek peeked my interest in
