This segment of the stream appeared healthy and was quite pretty, although we occasionally saw trash. For much of this segment the stream was surrounded by wetlands filled with skunk cabbage and bushes and also contained mature hardwood trees. (Perhaps this area was not always so wet.) Other portions of the stream were surrounded by (dry) woods. Beyond the immediate area of the stream there were woods and still further away there were houses. It should be noted that five additional homes are to be built on the steep hill near the east side of the stream.
While thick growth seen along some sections of the stream did not hinder the flow of the stream, it did cause some trouble for the stream surveyors. Therefore, we recommend that any additional surveys or other activity in this section be done in early spring or late fall to avoid the thickest growth of the year.
