A Brief History
In 1939 after a decade of devastating floods, Federal Authorities began to create a concrete "straight jacket" for the river. With channelization, the natural habitat suffered. By the 1960′s Freeway expansions, industrial pollution and street run-off further degraded the river. Yet, in the Elysian Valley stretch, a high water table and the dynamics of the river's bends around the local hills left a soft-bottom (instead of concrete,)creating an environment for aquatic plants, fish, birds, and humans. Sedimentary islands are also home to many river-specific trees and animals, include a diversity of birds.
