PAST PROJECTS
STREAM STUDIES
In 2000, STA's Environment Club made connections with various stewardship groups on the North Shore working to enhance local salmon habitat. The club planned to focus efforts on streams near the school in the Mosquito Creek watershed, particularly Wagg Creek.
Club members did water quality sampling as well as bug studies, and field mapping of Wagg Creek using differential GPS and ArcView.
