Watershed Workshop for Teachers
Provided by Dr. Jennifer Demchak:
A Watershed Assessment workshop for teachers will be held at Mansfield University June 15th and 16th, 2010. The workshop will focus on conducting a watershed assessment through discussions of water quality, pollution sources and field work showing how an assessment is conducted. The workshop will include basic water chemistry (focusing on acid mine drainage), macroinvertebrates, fish shocking, conducting an actual assessment, the development of restoration or protection plans from the assessment results and remediation strategies. Field work will be an integral part of the workshop in order to demonstrate the use of field equipment, to identify pollution sources, and to learn sampling techniques. There is a $40 registration fee.
