Stroud Water Research Center
Whether you’re a seasoned Leaf Packer or new to the Leaf Pack Network, join Tara Muenz, Leaf Pack Administrator, for a 30-minute walkthrough as she covers all the basics of how to get started and answers those questions you've always wanted to ask. Hosted by Pennsylvania Association of Environmental Educators.
Participants will receive an overview of stream ecology and watershed concepts based on research done at the Stroud Center. Taking our boots to the stream, we’ll experience hands-on examination of leaf packs with live aquatic macroinvertebrates, including their identification, and take a look at the Leaf Pack Network® website.
Spend the day with us at Tonquish Creek, a small tributary of the Rouge River Watershed. You’ll touch slimy leaves and rocks, learning about Leaf Pack methods and how aquatic macroinvertebrates tell us the story about stream health.
This webinar will demonstrate the WikiWatershed toolkit and describe ways that it can be used to support NGSS-ESS implementation.
