Fall events are underway, and youth are investigating the watershed!

Here are Cove 8th graders investigating Catherine Creek State Park's side channel project!

We're working with new platforms - GLOBE Program + iNaturalist.

Wish us luck!

To help us better visualize our data, we are working with the GLOBE Program - a worldwide science and education program. Expect to see our water quality data showing up on this site throughout the season.

Now, teachers (and anyone) will be able to compare and visualze data from all over the world, including our very own data collected by our local youth.

To help us record biodiversity across the watershed, we created our very own iNaturalist project. The biodiversity data here is and will be collected by youth at our our events!
