At the Bay Journal, Get to know a stream near you — and its connection to the Chesapeake Bay
A small creek is often one of the first “natural” places a child investigates, a seemingly wild area full of adventures. The sound of water flowing though the landscape and trickling over rocks is all but universally soothing. Streams offer us a place of refuge from the stress of our everyday lives. Streams connect us to nature.
As a kid growing up in Culver City, California, I used to explore La Ballona Creek (for some reason they seem to have dropped the "La"), a fully channelized creek that is now largely street runoff. Our house was only a few houses distant. We used to catch tadpoles and mosquito fish, and look for "treasures" there. One time my dad and I found a diamond ring.
