Spring brought the return of elementary school classes to learn more about the local ecology. This session was about aquatic insects and native plants. We had classes from South Whidbey, Oak Harbor, Mukilteo and Lake Stevens. Often it was a full house!

The students retrieved insects from Maxwelton creek…

Then learned more about them at the classroom…

Learned about potential sources of pollution in the watershed and creek…

And finally, learned about native plants and their uses…

Thanks to Classroom coordinator Lori O’Brien and all the wonderful volunteers that make this program possible!
