Landscape Strategy

The proposed landscape design plans to build the following elements and facilities into th existing The Flats Picnic Grounds in the Santa Fe National Forest to provide fire and flood resiliency for future generations:

• Earthwork Berming: to help reduce speed of flood stream.

• Gabion Debris Catcher, Filter & Flood Barrier: to help filter contaminated sediments and soil from foothill runoff as well as catch larger loose debris to prevent damage to the existing water system.

• Flow Reducing Flat Pools: to help reduce speed of flood stream.

• Creek Branching: to help reduce speed of flood stream.

• Mixed earth & Concrete Troph: to divert water away from buildings caused by the foothill runoff.
