This is how the plants and animals of the Douglas Creek watershed work together. In site 1 we studied the macroinvertebrates, water quality, insects,vegetation, animals, and stream banks.
First we will tell you about the water quality at our site. We know our water is clean because we had a lot of Non-Tolerant larva. We had 5 caddisfly larva, 3 stone fly larva, and 1 mayfly nymph.
Second, we will discuss the plants at our site. Our vegetation went up since the first time we went. The first time we went the vegetation was low but the second time we went the vegetation was medium and then the last time the vegetation was bigger than we are.
Next, we will tell you about the animals and animal evidence. We found cow fur , 2 snakes, 4 deer tracks, and coyote scat. We know that because we went to Google and figured out it was coyote scat because it had a little twist at the end - ha ha ha ha ha ha! The animals we found were 3 dragonflies, 30 birds, 3 butterflies, and 100 ants.
Finally, how is our site at Douglas Creek doing? We think that our creek is doing great.

Site one. Stream name Douglas creek stream reach length 100ft.
First we will tell you about are riparian zone. Left bank looking downstream is over 100’. Right bank looking downstream is 0-50’. Are vegetation is the
Next we are going Channel cross section is a U shape longitudinal pattern is meandering braided. The gradients low and meandering.
Conifer is none the deciduous sparse and the shrubs is abundant grasses/herds is abundant. Overhead canopy is 0-25%.
Now we are going to tell you about the stream bank’s there is abundant of vegetation cover. Artificial bank is 0-25%. Then we will tell you about the bank stability. The bank is intact and erosion in some areas. Then we are going to tell you about the reach habitat. There is 2 riffles, 2 pools, 5% of riffles, and 50% pools. Sparse of woody debris, there is no organic debris.
Now we are going to tell you about artificial structures. There is pipes and garbage.
