Final Summary 2009

How do the plants and animals of Douglas Creek survive together?

I am going to tell you how Douglas Creek helps the animals and the plants. The creek helps the animals live because they can drink out of the creek. The creek also helps the plants because it gives them water. The riffles give the insect a place to hide under the rocks so they don’t get washed away and give oxygen in the river so the fish can breathe. The canopy created by the trees let the animals live in it and shades the creek. If the human are around it makes the creek look really bad. At our site we found beer cans, bullets, and toilet paper. Most of this stuff can not dissolve into the ground.
