Freshwater Ecology
Choose either a single school-based program or field trip, or combine the two into a series.
In the classroom, explore samples from freshwater ecosystems hands-on and under microscopes, focusing on your choice of biotic and abiotic factors, evolution and adaptation, biotic health indicators, organism identification, or vulnerabilities to climate change.
Take a field trip to a wildlife sanctuary where you’ll observe animal and plant life that live in freshwater ponds, streams, marshes, rivers, or vernal pools.
