Nearby, close to this spot, woodland where oak stands alongside birch, the latter especially aggressive as an allergen. Here, close to this spot, a green space of mown lawn and planted trees, both feeding into local grass and ragweed counts.
Along the waterway, hazel and willow release pollen first, arriving ahead of the rest of the season, cresting around late winter. By mid-spring, oak and birch in the woods take over, generally peaking somewhere between April and May. Grass pollen becomes the dominant allergen through late spring, peaking in June, then yields to ragweed, the dominant late-summer and fall allergen through October.

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. |
