River Ecology by Canoe (9-12)

Join a naturalist for a guided canoe trip on the gentle waters of the Ipswich River. As students paddle, they will observe native plants and animals and explore how these organisms depend on a healthy ecosystem. Through hands-on investigation and discussion, students will examine both natural processes and human impacts on the river. Students will also discuss practical ways to help protect and care for their community's water source.
