Local Environmental Conditions
Nearby, just around the area, hazel and willow thrive along the damp bank, both prolific early wind-pollinators. Located near this part of town, this area has a wooded stretch of oak and birch, with birch responsible for some of the sharpest spring counts. Local readings for the surrounding area tend to follow this same general pattern.
The bank's hazel and willow kick off the pollen season ahead of the rest, climbing steadily from late winter into March. Oak and birch in the woods pick up where the earlier species leave off, generally peaking somewhere between April and May. By late spring, grass pollen is climbing steadily toward a June high point, then gives way to ragweed, which drives the season's second major surge from mid-August into October.

Understanding the Scale
The 0–100 scores represent risk levels, not direct measurements of pollen or air pollutant concentrations. Higher scores indicate higher risk. Pollen and air quality use different thresholds.
Pollen
| None | 0 | No or negligible risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be minimal. |
| Low | 0-25 | Low risk of exposure. Small amounts of pollen or mold spores may be present. |
| Moderate | 25-50 | Moderate risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be noticeable. |
| High | 50-75 | High risk of exposure. Elevated pollen/mold exposure is expected. |
| Very High | 75-100 | Very high risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be at or near its highest levels. |
