UW-Green Bay watershed program offers fun, hands-on science for high school students

Since 2003, the Lower Fox River Watershed Monitoring Program has provided high school students and teachers with hands-on experience in assessing the health of aquatic ecosystems in Northeastern Wisconsin. Teams of students perform a variety of monitoring activities in selected watersheds of the Lower Fox River Basin, using trained teachers and standardized methods to collect quality assured data. These data are shared on the project website and at the annual Student Watershed Symposium, held at UW-Green Bay each spring.

This video was scripted, filmed, and produced by Stefanie Stainton's AP Environmental Science Class, with directing and editing by Independent Study students, Dan Irwin and Nick Reed. The video provides an overview of the L. Fox River Watershed, current issues and challenges facing the river and Bay of Green Bay, along with some suggested actions that citizens can take to support clean water resources in Northeast Wisconsin. Pulaski High School is part of the Lower Fox River Watershed Monitoring Program and partners with Oneida Nation High School to monitor Trout Creek. The video made its debut at the LFRWMP Watershed Symposium and EMBI Conference at UW-Green Bay on April 19, 2012.
