Riparian Habitat Assessment

7/21 

Today my dad and I went out to search for a river. I found a spot by my house in Plainfield that looked good. My dad helped me take my samples and I felt grateful to have someone there who could help and that we could spend time together.  One thing I noticed was that the right side of the riverbank was replaced with stone. This made me feel sad that the riparian zone has been impacted but I also wonder if this was to keep the bank stable.
