STREAM ECOLOGY

The students accomplished their first week of class! It was an excting week with professor Kristel Van Houte- Howes, looking at fresh water streams and seeing microinvertebrates through a microscope. We assessed various streams including our own stream here at Living Springs and some further out into the mountains near Craigeburn. There were cold times and there were sunny warm times, but each day was a new experience. Each stream had new and exciting specimens to show us. Thanks Kristel for showing us some of your work and sharing the importance of keeping fresh water streams healthy and sustainable!
