Monitoring site #3. Bare terrace on Gilmore near Cross

.
Grass is missing from a portion of this terrace.  Also, from the terrace where the concrete work was done.  Also, on the little mounds where the playground borders Cross Street.


Does this bare area create problems for the watershed?
Do you have any evidence that mud is escaping from this site?
How could you correct this problem?
Do you see other places like this in your neighborhood?
How does erosion work?  What causes it?

Activities

  • Photograph once a week and publish photo on this page.
  • Can you figure out any way to measure soil loss?
  • If possible, observe this spot during rain.
  • Make a map of erosion locations in your neighborhood.
  • Can you get someone to solve this problem, come springtime?
