  • Downtown Riverfront Plan
    THE MISSOULA DOWNTOWN RIVERFRONT PLAN ,l~Ul,ll111g", Consultant for the Missolila Redevelopment Ag~ncy City of Missoula. Montana I started my walk at the Higgins Avenue Bridge where a beaver made a home two years ago. That particular beaver is gone but you can spot beaver in the Clark Fork River. Also muskrat. And if you walk along, the bank in early morning or late evening you can spot a "deer. Last Monday I didn't expect to see a deer or beaver or muskrat. I was walking in the middle of the day. I went to see the vegetation- the shrubs and trees and flowers. And the birds of course. Birdlife is part of a river. I think sometimes we forget that a river isn't just water running.•• A river the stature of Missoula's Clark Fork is far more than just water running. But what is it? Is it the sum total of a hundred things? That's what I went walking to see. Cottonwood trees - yes, we all know the Clark Fork has to have cottonwood trees. And willows and red-stemmed dogwood. Without those you wouldn't have the Clark Fork River. Aspen trees, alder bushes, sarvisberry -they belong. I ate three ripe sarvis berries and it was a very satisfying thing to do. Let's have more sarvisberry bushes. The birds can eat the fruit and then they'll leave our strawberries and raspberries alone. I walked through a tangle of clematis, tansy, wild rose. They must belong because evidently they are the home of small birds.
