Cold Water Creek at Old Garden River Road : Cold Water Creek

The site is safe, be careful when approaching as the snow banks on left bank are over 12 metre snow pack and since the south sun does not hit the banks- there is a dangerous escarpment on left bank- approach site on the right bank, as it is safer.
There was no birds present but there was evidence of the beaver awake or in the area that brought a tree to the front of the mouth of the two culverts. There is algae present upstream from the site which resembles chladophoria, and green and blue algae. The shapes are unique and were present all winter long, healthy green and growing.
previoulsy sampled as a urban area but community members identified wrong this site is sampled and is in the vicsinity of rural disharge and residential.
