site 4 Douglas Creek summary

This is how the plants and animals of the Douglas Creek watershed work together. In site 4 we have studied macroinvertabrates, water quality, insects, vegetation, animals and stream banks.

First we will tell you about the water quality at site 4. Our water was perfect. It was 7.5. That it is not too acidy or not too soapy and it is neutral so we can have bacteria, plants, fish, and macroinvertibrates.

Second we will discuss the plants at our site. In our grassy site anything can hide, even Dumbo can hide in our grass because it is so tall and abundant. When Ethan fell he disappeared from sight. When Haylee was standing up tall you couldn't see her. The vegetation was so thick that Tyler even fell over a piece of wood that he couldn't see. He disappeared for a short time. We had moderate deciduous trees, moderate shrubs, and abundant grass/herbs

Now we will tell you about animals and animal evidence. The first thing we saw was a mouse climbing in the rocks. The second thing we saw was a water snake swimming, then we saw 3 water snakes, 1 garter snake, and 1 rattle snake. We also saw beaver scat and fur.

Finally, how is our site at Douglas Creek doing? We have many plants and animals living at our site. So over all we think our site is very clean. Let's keep it that way.
