CREEK SCIENCE LESSON

Creek bugs can tell us a lot about the health of a creek. Grassroots Ecology leads field trips to study watershed health by surveying local creeks for the presence of insects as well as key water quality measurements. We have made the curriculum available online for community educators and enthusiasts.
