Creek has been alter by man-made infrastructure (to collect rain water through our the neighbourhood and parts of the city)
Substrate is concrete (north end) and large rocks cover in algae (south end)
North end has an okay amount of vegetation (trees, bush and grass) but mostly large boulders (placed by humans) to hold the bank from the highway (QEW). South side has a good amount of vegetation up to the residential area.
Some riparian canopy over the creek to provide shade (roughly 20% covered)
Site has been littered: cans, Styrofoam, plastics - and was cleaned at the best ability.
Animals spotted: Squirrels, birds (blue jay, black capped chickadee) and various insects
Fast moving from the storm this morning. Frothy. Only able to take sample in the highly sedimented space for safety.
