Program Outline
Students visit our beaver ponds to collect benthic macroinvertebrates (bottom-dwelling creatures) and utilize key anatomical features to assist in identifying the species of benthic. This program emphasizes the importance of each species to the pond ecosystem. Students will then complete a benthic station gallery walk to demonstrate their species ID skills.
