Larger, and more rocks have been place on the paved trail leading from Takhini to the park trails.  I had hoped that the boulders would also be placed by the wood fence, and on the trail heads, but as usual, this hasn't been a priority for the City.

The water levels have risen at the little pond, so I have to think that broken beaver dams were not the reason the water levels were so low.  The rain we have had all year would have kept the levels pretty much the same, and with snow and freezing in the mountains, it can't be melting that is filling the lake again.  So why was it desperately low with mud banks everywhere, and a week later, the mud has been covered by water again?

It was nice to see students from the Yukon College in the woods yesterday, some from biology class, and I am not sure which class was testing the water and learning to use their equipment, but this just confirms the value of the area for education.

 

You are reminded that there will be a cleanup along the Creek September 16.
