Dogtooth Bend is a large meander loop of the Mississippi River. The bend envelopes approximately 17,000 acres of land, predominantly in the form of aly an agricultural landscape. Flooding is occurring across the landscape. The Nature Conservancy, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the USACE St. Louis District are working with the people who live and work in Dogtooth Bend to pursue a new arrangement with nature. Eddie Brauer (USACE St. Louis District), one of our two national River Engineering With Nature Practice Leads, organized and led our day at Dogtooth Bend. More to come.
