Directly along the bank, there was a very high Norway maple population, most of them were pretty young which was indicated by thin, smooth trunks. The Norway maples were responsible for most of the shade coverage over the brook. The photo below was taken parallel to the brook&#8217;s surface and shows the high Maple population above the water as well as the relatively high exposure to sunlight in comparison to other small streams in Centennial. Just beyond the brook&#8217;s riparian buffer, there is also an abundant Eastern White Pine and Paper Birch population.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large
