Go Fish: Improving Brook Trout Habitat, One Log at a Time

摘要

Something fishy happened last fall at the Forest Society's Black Mountain Forest in Sutton. Dressed in waders and carrying tape measures and tablets, Kearsarge Regional High School (KRHS) students stood in a small stream measuring logs that had fallenacross the water. It might not be obvious at first, but KRHS science teacher Emily Anderson and j her students are assessing native brook trout habitat on one of the reservation's unnamed streams. One student sloshes in the water and calls out a measurement to a classmate who records the data, takes a couple photos of the log, and verifies its location with a small red flag. Content I with their findings, the team moves on to the next log.
