Conclusion of Douglas creek


Our creek is very healthy it has some tolerant bugs but mostly there are lots of good bugs that we did not identify. We had some stone flies. Our vegetation was thick our shrubs were abundant our grasses and herbs were abundant. Our temperature was 60 degrees. Our shape in cross-section is steep. Our longitudinal pattern was straight. Our bank stability was intact we had some erosion but that might have been from last year and our number of riffles was 0 our number of pools was 0. Our riparian zone. Looking down stream was 0-50% and our right stream looking down stream was 0-50%. Our woody debris was sparse. Our artificial structures. We had none of those we just had a beaver dam. We did a ph test and we got 8.0 we also did a dissolved oxygen test it took 13 drops of sodium sulfate. Our stream was very good over all and our group did a good job on everything except on the macro invertebrates.
