Summary
Experience a week wading into watershed science with the hellbenders and helgrammites!
Description
(9am – 3pm) This camp will cover what a watershed is, discuss water quality, do macro invertebrate surveys, potentially participate it an electrofishing survey, learn about indicator species such as freshwater mussels and Eastern Hellbenders, and do some exploration to get familiar with freshwater ecology. The last portion of the week the campers will take what they learned and implement different projects (these can be pre-determined or designed by the campers specific to their aquatic interest) where they become a watershed scientist to perform research projects in small groups by developing a hypothesis, collecting data in the field and analyzing their data. Member $275, nonmember $325
