Another Mile South, A Closer Look

Thursday, July 5, 2012

This is part two of the photos taken on my walk yesterday, Wednesday, July 4, along the recently opened addition of the San Antonio River Greenway trail south of the Mission Rd trailhead.

As can be seen in the photos I posted yesterday, the river bed has been restored to a more natural configuration. That was the first step of the restoration process. Vegetation has been established along most of this new section to begin to stabilize the soil and minimize erosion when the water is high. A couple of large embayments are still being landscaped.

Today's photos are a closer look at the wildlife now living along this section of the river:
