Today we went to see how healthy the Bank line was. To determine whether the shore line was healthy or not we needed to see how many plants there where along the edge of the river. First we took measuring tape and walked along the bank. Then we took a stick that was about a yard long and walked along the measuring tape with the stick a yard above the ground. Any plant that was above the stick we recorded what type of plant it was and how big it was. We determined the bank line had just enough plants to support the water from eroding away the bank of the creek.
