"The lowered bar was "split" during winter and
spring high flood flows, and now the main low-flow channel has
stabilized in the middle of the broad gravel bar (above left). It formerly ran
through the edge of mature alder and willow riparian vegetation on the
east side of the bar (above right)."
"The new channel and bar alignment at Valley Crossing has shifted the
main channel into the willow grove planted by Matrix of Change
a few years ago. The bank is eroding, but the willows so far have been
large and mature enough to hold their ground."
