Deer and rabbits can eat the grass for food. Plants also make food for the bears like berries. Trees shade the creek. This is important because this allows for the water to stay at the right temperature for the fish and other creatures. The soil found at the creek helps the trees grow. Soil is made of organic material like dead grass and leaves. It seems like the human activity is not bothering this area in site 7.
