Cold Water Creek at Old Garden River Road by Community Volunteers
There were scuddles or small shrimp on the banks- see pictures. There are three evergreens that were alive at the beginning of the seasonal and now have turned red. There are other red evergreens that I have spotted. Questioning if they were hurt overwintering in warm weather or if there is potential other reasons for this anomaly. Lots of Foliage be careful and watch for Cows parsnip which can cause itchiness. Long grasses make it hard to see the uneven ground.

Canon Creek Old Goulais Bay Rd by Community Volunteers
The water is not moving, the oily sheen looks like from nutrient decomposition. That is most likely the odour. The creek is so overgrown, it can not move. The other side of the bridge has been cut down and there is debris everywhere. The water can not move through the debris. The plants have overgrown so the sample on the left bank. Cut through the people's yard to the only opening by the creek. There is lots of bugs - wear bug spray. There is a stinging nettle in the field watch your feet and ankles. They could cause a reaction if rub up on them. The odour of decomposition.
