Watershed Visit Part 2- How is the health of our river ecosystem?

Team Couloir students took a visit to the river this morning with teachers from 'The Watershed Alliance'. Students first drew the section of river their group was looking at; identifying biotic and abiotic things, noticing river flow, etc...Next they used a net and other tools to gather macro invertebrates from the river. Back in the classroom students worked to identify the macro invertebrates as tolerant or intolerant and used the data to analyze the overall health of the river.
