Is Witherlea Stream healthy?

Anna Crowe, who is a River Ecologist, visited us today and took us down to the Witherlea Stream to answer the question: Is the stream healthy? In order to answer the question we had to take the temperature of the stream, fill and look down a clarity tube, use a net to collect and examine the critters living there, test the flow, and make a series of observations.
We'll be repeating our investigation next week at Pine Valley. I wonder how different we'll find Pine Valley Stream to the Witherlea Stream? We can't wait to find out!

Wow, this looks very interesting, can't wait to hear the results between the school stream and the Pine Valley Stream. Hope you all have a fantastic time on camp. From Mckenzie's Mum Rosalie
