Site Overview


The overall size of the observation site is 150 feet squared maybe a tad smaller, It is located off of the fire trail entrance of Stulstaft park on Farm Hill road. It is next to the creek that runs parallel to the fireroad path that goes along the back of the park.
       How much does the water level in this branch of the creek vary throughout the year during the different seasons? What affect if any does the nearby children’s play park have on the ecosystem of the creek area? Does the area differ greatly inbetween the seasons or does it stay at the same level of productivity year round?
       The study area is split in half by a small clear flowing creek in the middle of the sight with a small stream about 2 ft by 1 ft by 1ft. A small hiking trail goes through one side of the site past one of the large trees that originate in the creek and curve over the pathway. Next to the creek is a small shelf of rock that does not have any plant life or dirt on it.
Driving Instructions: Take a left out of the pool parking lot onto James, take James down to Iris, take a left on iris. Take Iris to Jefferson take a right onto Jefferson. Take Jefferson all the way till it becomes farm hill take it past McGarvey and untill Stulstaft is on your left.
