conclustion of stream health

The water is good at Douglas creek. Vegetations are improving since are last visit. Our last visit we saw that the vegitation has improved because the first trip the vegitation was reall small and the last trip the vegitation was as taller then me. You would probably see lots of animals like deer and coyotes and other animals like birds would come to eat the bugs. We caught 11 macro-invertebrates and they where all mayflies that that means our stream is good. The dissolved oxygen in the stream is good and the stream has what it needs to support life. Also our stream was the right temperature, 58F. In conclusion our site at Douglas creek is going good.

At the creek there were lots of red ants like these ones. When you sat down to write you would find little red ants crawling up your leg and if they reached your hand they would bite.

Trees at site six

At the creek there were lots of trees like these ones. You can see the beaver teeth marks we think that the beavers are affecting the trees. In the 2 picture you can see the burnt marks man is also affecting the trees to.
