 Platte River Ecology Study
Red cedar was also present in localized areas of floodplain, but this species was most abundant along bluffs in western Nebraska.
Because of the significant negative impact of woody vegetation on use of the river channel by sandhill and whooping cranes, studies were undertaken to determine forest age structure and period of forest development on the Platte River floodplain and to identify factors conducive to establishment of woody vegetation.
The average and earliest age of cottonwood, red cedar, willow, and certain other species in riparian woodlands was determined by counting the annual growth rings on increment cores taken from trees growing along 44 transect lines sampled during a survey of the vegetation ( Appendix O).

 The State News - Group monitors health of Red Cedar - Wednesday, September 10, 1997   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The practice of land use, the introduction of untreated waste and the demand for water as a resource led to the status of the Red Cedar River today — an abused river.
Also to blame are the local cattle farms near the river and improperly connected drains in residential and commercial areas, where sanitary waste is disposed of incorrectly, said Godbold.
Godbold said normal contact with the river is not dangerous, although full submersion of the head and face and ingesting the water in the river may be reason to worry and could make a person ill.

 Research Team for MSU-WATER
In an earlier issue of the Bailey Dailey (“On the Banks of the Red Cedar”, December 2000) I talked about several initiatives started by students who were enrolled at that time in my ANR 392 class, The Red Cedar River, A Meandering Laboratory.
Knowing the river’s long-standing public image of being badly polluted and the problems with it being trashed with bicycles, shopping carts and other litter, the students focused on small actions that they hoped would help improve the river’s image and the negative behaviors toward it.
The public perception is that the river is so polluted it won’t support life and is very dangerous to humans or animals who come in contact with the water.

 RED RIVER RAFT   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Other interests argued that the dammed river stifled commerce from northwestern Texas and Indian Territory down to the Gulf of Mexico, helped Indians dominate trade along the northern part of the Red River and, as a result, discouraged white settlement.
The federal government's first serious attempt at clearing the Red River began in 1833 when Capt. Henry M. Shreve, an army engineer, and 159 men using Shreve's invention, the "snag steamboat," tore logs from the tail of the raft, causing them to float down stream.
By 1900 the Red River was permanently open for trade from Indian Territory to the Gulf.
