For a few years I’ve watched this tiny trickle of water turn into a nice little creek with plenty of bends and falls and a little wetlands type area. It seems to be active a lot more than it used to be. Lots of animals stop and drink from it now and ive seen so many interesting plants and mushrooms pop up.
How do I support this little habitat? I’ve been picking plastic and glass out of it but little else. I read somewhere once you shouldnt disturb creeks too much. Should i fuck with introducing native plants/animals? or just let it be? I live in a temperate forest area if that matters.
I know it’s just some ditch runoff, probably from gutters around here, but Ive become attached to it in a weird way
Thank you everyone who told me to reach out to local conservationists. I don’t know any but I will ask around and I also emailed a conservation ecology professor at my university to point me in the right direction.
