The Vermont EPSCoR CWDD traveled to the ECHO Leahy Center for Lake Champlain in Burlington, Vermont on July 22, 2021 to assist a former High School Program participant in an Ecosystems Explorer's Camp. CWDD Operations Manager Janel Roberge and St. Michael's College Professor of Biology Declan McCabe, PhD led approximately 20 third through fifth graders through plankton and lake bottom sampling. Students then used CWDD-provided microscopes to check out their water and "muck" samples to see if they could find anything surprising. The sessions left students with a better knowledge of what they can do if the encounter a harmful invasive species.

CWDD Operations Manager Janel Roberge and St. Michael's College Professor of Biology Declan McCabe, PhD traveled to City Park in South Burlington, VT on July 24, 2021 to lead a terrestrial macroinvertebrate hike with community scientists. A total of 18 participants of varying ages used equipment provided by the CWDD to catch some six- and eight-legged friends throughout the part. After the activity, participants got to use a microscope to examine their finds. The CWDD staff on hand helped participants identify their catches before releasing them. Dr. McCabe ended the activity with a discussion about invasive species and provided some tips about what the community scientists could do to help stop their spread.
