Caretaker's note: Leftover chunks of concrete from another project provides material to build a small dam across a wide draw. It is intended to direct large water flows through the middle of the draw, through and over the culvert instead of spreading out into new channels of erosion.

Caretaker's note: The Box elders are a native tree common along river bottoms. Like Juniper, however, they can become invasive. By thinning the small trees, there is now more sunlight and room for other species to grow. In this case, we are encouraging elderberries which are an important food source for birds.
