The Endless Forest is a multiplayer online game and social screensaver, a virtual place where you can play with your friends. When your computer goes to sleep you appear as a deer in this magical place. There are no goals to achieve or rules to follow. Just run through the forest and see what happens. About eight of every ten inhabitants live in the endless forest wilderness in a state of semi-barbarism, and avoid the ruined cities of their ancestors altogether. The numerous diseases which emptied Iobaria two millennia ago have never disappeared completely, and still serve to keep its population very low.
In 1995 the 'Ghost River' section of the Wolf was saved from timber auction by a coordinated effort of the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, local conservation activists, and the Wolf River Conservancy. In 1997 the river was designated an American Heritage River by presidential proclamation under a special United States Environmental Protection Agency program. In that same year musician Jeff Buckley accidentally drowned in the Wolf River while swimming in Memphis. In 2005 the Wolf River Restoration Project was commenced to stop rapid erosion at Collierville, Tennessee.
The river serves to mitigate flooding and erosion, as habitat for wildlife, as a recreational area, as well as supplying clean water to an underground aquifer.Wolf River. Contents.Hydrography The Wolf River rises in the at Baker's Pond in, north of, and flows northwest into Tennessee, draining a large portion of Memphis and northern and eastern, before entering the Mississippi River near the northern end of, north of downtown Memphis.Cities and towns listed in downstream order from source to mouth., a former seat of, long since incorporated into Memphis.Wildlife The Wolf River area is home to, and a wide variety of,. Migrating, and have been spotted along this river as well.There are Tennessee state record trees located in its bottomland forests, including a that is 17 feet (5.2 m) in circumference. Other hardwoods include, and the majestic. Native flowering plants include, and.Twenty-five species of freshwater ( unionidae) have been documented. Their dependence on good water quality makes them vulnerable to pollution.A growing number of these species of plants and animals can be found in the urban reaches of the Wolf in Memphis, as the legacy of community action and the slowly heals the degraded downstream section.On 27 March 2018, (TWRA) reported that its personnel had videoed a 7 ft (2.1 m) at the Wolf River Wildlife Management Area in, one in a series of confirmed recent sightings of the in.
The reptiles are moving into Tennessee across its southern state line; TWRA has not stocked alligators in Tennessee. Wolf River Harbor, at Downtown Memphis, was formerly the lowermost channel of the Wolf River before its 1960 diversion by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The old mouth of the Wolf River is visible in the upper-right corner, framed by the I-40 and Monorail bridges.In the early 19th century, the Wolf River was declared navigable, from Memphis to, by the, which appropriated funds to remove obstructions for keel boat travel. In 1888, Memphis stopped using the Wolf River as its principal source of, switching to, which are still used and which are replenished by the Wolf's watershed.Because of its foul odor, the Wolf was dammed in 1960 near its mouth and diverted into the Mississippi north of. The section of the Wolf downstream of this channel diversion became a slackwater harbor of the Mississippi known today as Wolf River Harbor, which separates Mud Island (actually a peninsula) from the Memphis 'mainland.'
Completion of channelization of the Wolf from the Mississippi upstream to Gray's Creek, east of, resulted in a lowered riverbed and diminished wetland habitat. Bottomland hardwood swamp at the confluence of Tubby Creek and the Wolf River in the near.
This location was considered to be the Wolf's at the time of the first known full descent of the river, completed in 1998 by members of the who hiked or waded from the river's source at Baker's Pond to this point and traveled by canoe to the river's confluence with the.According to the, the Wolf River serves the in four distinct ways:. Flood/Erosion Control: During heavy rains, the Wolf's floodplain and temporarily store.
When these are filled in for development, the river loses these natural release valves, causing increases in river velocity and flood height. Without an adequate floodplain, floodwaters and the erosion caused by them threaten property, transportation, and lives.
Water Quality: The Memphis metropolitan area and other Mid-South communities receive drinking water from a pure underground beneath the Wolf River Basin. The Wolf's fragile wetlands hold water long enough for it to be absorbed into the ground and serve as natural filters to cleanse polluted waters before they reach the aquifer. Wildlife Habitat: The Wolf River supports a variety of animals and waterfowl. Migrating osprey, great egret, and bald eagle have been spotted along the river as well.: While civilization has long surrounded the Wolf River's floodplain, its wetland and bottomland trails provide Mid-Southerners with scenic wilderness experiences from the Holly Springs National Forest all the way to downtown Memphis. Hikers, runners, sportsmen, cyclists and paddlers experience nature on or near the river every day.See also.References., accessed March 28, 2018. U.S. Geological Survey.
