If you stand on our bridge, you can see the effects of erosion. Erosion is a direct result of the high velocity of the water, and you can see the difference between this section of the stream, and a section later on in the walk. There, the water is very clear and there is a layer of vegetation that is able to survive due to lower velocity.
GSWA has planted shrubs and vegetation along the banks in order to control erosion, and also to provide shade for the creatures living in the streams.
Look for animal tracks along the banks, as otter, muskrat, fox, and raccoon drink from the stream.
