Near the bank, hazel and willow lead the seasonal calendar, climbing steadily from late winter into March. Further into spring, the area's oak and birch stands drive the pollen count, cresting around April and May in the year's sharpest tree-pollen spike. Grass pollen builds through late spring and peaks in June, before ragweed takes over as the dominant allergen from mid-August through October.

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. |
