If you haven't already heard, local partners are busy putting great minds together to get local students outside and out to explore Ryan Meadow on the Deschutes River! In collaboration with the Deschutes National Forest, Discover Your Northwest, Bend-LaPine Schools, and The Freshwater Trust, the Upper Deschutes Watershed Council is coordinating Student Stewardship Projects to help students connect to the Deschutes River.
Fortunately for all of us, swarms of students will soon replace the swarms of mosquitoes along the Deschutes. Our new Education Assistant, Laura Campbell, will work with Forest Service scientists to guide students through hands-on field studies in ecology, hydrology, geology, and art. Stay tuned for more photos and updates soon!!
Cheers,
Kolleen Yake
Education Coordinator
