Notes
The grasses, sedges and wildflowers have grown abundant and have taken over the trail and the banks of the creek. It is hard to see the ground when travelling to the sample site. The left bank edge is covered and grasses and it is hard to get to the surface water.
There were wildflowers blooming, no signs or sounds from wildlife. There are multiple types of algae present not sure if they are different species, too hard to tell.
