What
is it?
| This
project is one for those who love the outdoors. Each week, volunteers walk
a section of stream and conduct some basic water analises. We look at everything
from the flora and fauna of the area to the chemical properties of the
water. |
_____________________________________
| We
also offer internships in streamwalking and research. Past projects have
looked at the water quality at different bridges along the waterway to
access the impact of the urbanization of the riparian zones. |
