An excellent, well-written, well-researched article. I'm honestly amazed by how much information you found on a 3.5 mile creek! Passes without hesitation. Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 21:38, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
Tree height
[edit]I removed the claim, inserted about a week ago, that the Douglas-firs in the Balch Creek watershed reach heights of 200 to 240 feet. My source, Houle, does not say this, and I've been unable to find reliable confirmation elsewhere. If you have a reliable published source for this number, we can put it back in with a citation.

- Some kind person found a source. I have added the new data, with a citation to the Portland Parks Department, to the second paragraph of "Vegetation". Thanks for raising the question. Finetooth (talk) 22:43, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
