Outdoors Stream Days Summer School Stream Day 2005
On June 22, a Stream Day was held on the banks of the North Fork River at Hammond Mill. Fifty-five fourth and fifth graders and their sponsors attended four sessions. Three field professionals from the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) facilitated: Mary Palmer led a session which concentrated on macroinvertebrate sampling and the food chain, Melanie Carden-Jessen led a session on visual surveying and map reading, and Wendy Ziegler led a session on nature journaling. Adam Coulter from the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) led a session on watersheds and rivers using a stream table. Missouri Master Naturalist volunteer Dan Leary assisted during the macroinvertebrate sessions.
The development of content for Stream Days is funded through the Missouri Department of Natural Resources. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region VII, through the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, has provided partial funding for this project under Section 319 of the Clean Water Act. |
