    Cash is no longer king at Nashville District lakes

    Across the nation, COVID – 19 is changing the way businesses interact with consumers.

    Corps’ park rangers, engineers begin initial planning for security, restoration barrier at Mojave River Dam

    Set against the backdrop of the San Bernardino Mountains, the Mojave River Dam and its surrounding area is known for many things – its beautiful landscape filled with Joshua trees, desert flora and fauna, and the national scenic Pacific Crest Trail, an area frequented by hikers and equestrian riders.

  • WALLISVILLE, Texas -- USACE Galveston Natural Resource Specialists (from left to right) Eric Angle, Mark Tyson, and Brandon Moerhle spent all day Thursday, February 24, touring the Wallisville Lake Project on an airboat and picking up discarded and abandoned traps along the way.

Within seconds, the mechanical lock gates create a stir in the still water. Salt and fresh water collide, waking up wildlife along the Wallisville Lake Project. Egrets and pelicans—the proverbial early birds—are getting their fill.
