Green Mountain Valley Students Delineate Watersheds

 

 

 
Fifteen 8th-grade students from Green Mountain Valley School in Waitsfield, Vermont met virtually with CWDD staff member Janel Roberge on February 10, 2022 to learn about delineating watersheds and the tools used to do so. The students got first-hand experience as to how difficult it can be to fully understand what goes on in a watershed. With this understanding, they will use their findings and some data from the Vermont EPSCoR Streams Database to create a watershed management plan with the goal of supporting land conservation, biodiversity, and ecosystem services.
 
Students will apply the knowledge they gained from this meeting to conduct additional research throughout the spring semester, with the potential for a culminating event later in the year.
