River Corridors

A river and riparian area with and without vegetation. Two painted plexiglas panels depict the animals, trees, shrubs, and grasses that provide wildlife habitat, and tree roots that help bind the bank soil. The panels are levered and when in an upright position the riparian area without vegetation appears with rills, gullies, erosion, and one sees a very muddy river.

This model shows the effects of vegetated river corridors
