This photo shows Janes Creek during high flows on New Years Day 2003 looking south from Foster Avenue at the site of a 1988 restoration project. The alders are mature but conifers are still in very early seral conditions. This area provides substantial storage and flood relief as well as providing some greenery in the middle of otherwise developed areas of Arcata. Photo by Pat Higgins.
