The Great Flood of 2017
The historic rainfall of the winter season wrecked havoc at the bypass. The area was completely under water for the majority of the winter season. It was recently flooded again at the end of April with only the highest roads remaining visible, although the water has receded significantly since. Needless to say all this flooding has substantially impacted the area.
The area is still closed so access is limited to walking the levee, however word is the area might be reopening sometime in June. I for one am interested to see just how substantial the damage is. Many resident species were undoubtedly displaced, it will be a while before the area returns to normal population levels for some species.
