Trail along the creek

Sign with map of Sligo Creek watershed, located along the trail

Human additions: a storm drain to manage rainwater and rocks along the edge to prevent erosion

My Honorable Harvest gift: a piece of pumpkin, which will feed wildlife and break down into nutrients

Trees along the trail

• Ground Cover
  • Centennial: Mostly ferns
  • Sligo Creek: Mostly ivy
• They are both urban natural areas
  • Because of this, the waterways in both are affected by the runoff from the large amount of developed area around.
  • They are also both accessible to a lot of people
• There are different species of trees
  • Sligo has a lot of tulip trees
  • Centennial has a lot of Eastern hemlock and Eastern white pine.
  • They both have a number of different types of maple trees
