If you have never taken the time to stand where two streams or rivers meet, do yourself the favor and give it a try.

Nature's therapy is free.

Make sure to take in the colors, sounds and scents of the season. The Deerfield River watershed is absolutely beautiful right now.

Cattails

That brown “corn dog” on a stalk is actually the female flower spike. Look just above it and you’ll often find the male flowers, which release pollen in early summer and then wither away, leaving a bare tip.

Cattails (Typha) thrive where land meets water. Their dense roots hold stream and pond banks in place and help filter nutrients and sediment before they travel downstream. Red-winged blackbirds weave nests into the stalks, muskrats feast on the roots and build lodges from the leaves, and dragonflies and damselflies perch along the blades.

This time of year, the spikes burst into fluff, each tiny seed carried off on its own parachute. Next time you pass a marsh, pause and look closely. Healthy wetlands start here.

Went by the bridge where North Brook meets the Chickley River and found these two inspectors checking out the bridge work.

Never seen cuter workers!

Rivers are important for the health of the entire planet and deserve our attention and protection. Thank you to all who came out to clean up on Saturday. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

One of my favorite things to do is to walk along a muddy bank of a stream or a river and see who else is or has been there. It is fun to wonder about them and their lives.

What is your favorite thing to do in the watershed?
