Hi Jacob. I like to hunt and fish, camp and hike. I, too, value natural areas open to the public. Many of the Nature Conservancy's "floodplain projects," including 25-square mile Mollicy Farms that is part of the Upper Ouachita River National Wildlife Refuge and our Emiquon Preserve on the Illinois River, are open to the public. I live in Arkansas, and in the Delta alone, TNC has helped safeguard over 120K acres, most of which is now part of federal or state areas open to the public.
This is what we need to do as a people all across our waterways. There will be more and more extreme weather events and flooding. We must prepare. We need to tax the uber rich so they pay their fair share to do these things our country needs as our system of capitalism , our infrastructure and our man power have enabled them to become wealthy beyond imagination.
Do you have any curriculum connected to this video? I'm considering using it with my class. Maybe you could propose Floodplains as a movie topic on BrainPop.
Hi Cindy... we had considered producing some classroom materials, but, in the end, we didn't have the funding or time to do that. It's definitely a good idea! If you have not checked out the website, there are some other collateral materials that I think could easily be adapted for classroom use. Thanks for watching it, and thanks for the suggestion!
TNC is actually involved in many efforts to “modernize” existing infrastructure, like levees and dams. For instance, our Sustainable Rivers Program (www.nature.org/SRP) coordinates with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers-the largest water manager in the nation-to update the management of Corps-owned dams to better mimic natural river flows, thereby providing more benefits to both people and nature. These benefits include improved forest or wetlands health, better spawning grounds for fish, better foraging habitat for migrating songbirds or waterfowl and better water quality. And we are also working with communities and local, state and federal governments to improve risk reduction from flooding by-when feasible-moving levees farther from river banks to give rivers room to rise and spread out during high-water events, which also helps improve water quality while providing critical habitat for wildlife and often creating economy-driving green spaces for people to enjoy a variety of outdoor activities. A good, recent example is at Hamilton City, CA. We also regularly work with governments to plan the development of new infrastructure, like dams. (Although we realize doesn’t address your immediate question.) We really appreciate your inquiry and interest in TNC’s work. Great question!

Big resources support this - enabling low lying developments around big cities.
That will work when building new communities but what about existing. How can that be solved?
