Buffalo River Boat Ride

On Monday, July 10, Caleb (Riverwatch Captain) from the Great Lakes Center took us on a boat tour of the Buffalo River. Although the morning was filled with thunder and rain, the weather turned around making it a beautiful trip. Attendees were Jill Jedlicka, Robin Douglas, Shannon Holland, and Robbyn Drake. We spotted major overgrowth of Japanese knotweed, two great blue herons, and many Canada geese and their goslings. Other than a drum of unknown substances, the river looked pretty clean from debris and litter. I am looking forward to the progress and improvements made by the RAP, as well as the findings of the Riverwatch Captains.
