Teen Summer Reading: Discover the Aquatic Ecosystem: a Community Profile of the Uncompahgre River

Science teacher Doug Eccher and Outer Range outdoor education staff will lead participants through a morning in the life of an aquatic biologist. With stations dedicated to water quality assessment, invertebrate studies, drift nets, stream flow analysis, and fly fishing, participants will get a sense of river health, a chance to work as aquatic biologists, and their feet wet (literally, as we’ll be IN the river). For ages 9(ish) to 18(ish). The data collected will be displayed at the Montrose Library and Outer Range. Register at https://bit.ly/mrldteen.
