“Same River, but a different area”
“Lots of human activity” (Shevlin park)
“This place looks beautiful from the way the sun shines down”
---Everett, Hayden, Marina
Opening circle

Rotations
Next we split into two groups according to our birthdays. One group went down the river a little ways to catch and study bugs and the other did water quality. In the bug group some of us put on waiters and jumped around in the water a little upstream while other people waited downstream with nets for the bugs to dislodge from the bottom and float down into them. Then we took the bugs and identified and counted the types of pollution resistant and non-resistant bugs in the stream to determine how polluted the stream is. The water quality group took temperature, Ph, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, and conductivity probes to see if the stream was healthy enough for salmon eggs to hatch.

Solitude and reflection
After lunch we spread out to reflect on today’s events. The writing prompt we used asked us to compare Shevlin to our study site in terms of the health and human impact.

Closing circle
We gathered up and shared highlights and bits of our reflection. After that we loaded up the group gear onto the bus and headed back to school.
