Kids in the Creek

The Kids in the Creek program provides students with a glimpse of how Aquatic Biologists monitor the health of a stream. The students spent time at four stations: aquatic insects, fish community, water quality, and watershed education. Each station focuses on the importance of a healthy stream both for the ecosystem and human health.

The program provides children with a hands-on experience and connection to the outdoors. It is our goal that this experience will foster a desire to help protect streams and that the students will become involved in stream conservation as the future adults of their community.
