The Bucket Buddies Project!

We decided to adopt a local wetland to help us learn about how plants and animal interact. We also wanted to make our local environment a healthier place for plants and animals. Here are some pictures of our experience.

Here are some pictures of the class at our adopted wetland. We clean the edge, check the water quality, set fish traps to count Coho salmon, and collect and count macroinvertebrates to determine if our wetland is healthy.
