From Beginning To End: The Hudson Project
Before: River bank erosion caused by concentrated flow of urban runoff.
Construction: A drop pipe was installed that provides a stable path for the water to outlet into the Red Lake River and eliminate flow over the bank.
After: Financial assistance was provided through the State Cost-share Program.
AIS Sampling on the Red River
No invasive species found, but a little friend was making the sample pipe his home!
