2.19.12 Stream Watcher Jepsen Family's Report on Patapsco River - Hollifield Area of Patapsco State Park : on February 19, 2012, PHG's wonderful stream watcher Jepsen family (Anne, Esben, Rikke and Kim) conducted their first stream watcher recon of 2012 along a section of the Patapsco River in the Hollifield Area of Patapsco State Park!  Special notes on their report include:    Biggest problem you see in your section:  Erosion on both banks and this time much more on the left bank which can be seen from the pictures. There are still plenty of logs and branches piled up onto the left bank further down the stream, but they don't seem to move further.  Potential areas for buffer enhancement, stream restoration, retrofit, or educational campaign:  Something should definitely be done to stop erosion but probably first when building of the bridge has been completed.   Would you like to see the FPVHG perform any project work here?  No.  General comments:  Just like in October, we barely saw any evidence of wildlife in or around the stream probably because of the season. There was even more water that in October despite it had been a long while since we have had rain.  Great job to our wonderful stream watchers!
