Restoring Napa River
Aug 29, 2010
Robin Grossinger was interviewed for the article "Early settlers found a Shangri-La, then they drained and boxed it" in the Napa Valley Register. The article talks about the troubled state of the Napa River which was caused by man. The Napa River's biggest problems include flooding and erosion.
The Napa Valley landscape of today bears little resemblance to what the first settlers saw, said Robin Grossinger, a scientist at the San Francisco Estuary Institute. “It has been transformed radically,” Grossinger said. “Nobody alive has ever seen the Napa River and the Napa Valley in its full glory.”
