Cold Water Creek at Old Garden River Road by Community Volunteers
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.

Crystal Creek Case Rd by Community Volunteers
The grass has gotten very high. The cows parnip which can cause irritation in human skin has bloomed. Monitors can not see the ground while walking through the grass. The rocks are uneven and so is the ground. Ensure to make loud noises so that any wildlife hidden in the grass can been notified of your presence. There were several song birds present. Two small fish jumped. There is an array of wild flowers that have bloomed. There are no sign of sea lamprey larvae or any that may have hatched in the gravel bed where the two lampreys were observed and identified.

Root River Old Garden River by Community Volunteers
The rocks are uneven on the walk down the hill to the shoreline. Grassess have grown that have made it difficult to see where to safely put feet as walking down. Be careful. There was fishing line found once again. The river was barely moving but can be seen with flow upstream and just below the sampling location. There was some fish fry present, approx. 8-10. There was iron oxidizing bacteria on the right bank in two areas showing orange and red hues leaching from the substrate. There was no wildlife seen. No birds.
