Thanks to the dedication of many Deschutes National Forest scientists, hundreds of local students have had the opportunity to head out into the field to explore and learn about Ryan Meadow firsthand! Middle and high school students have been collecting valuable data that will help inform the future restoration of wetland and riparian habitat conditions along the Deschutes River.
As the temperature drops and the snow begins to fall, students will not hibernate! The data and field notes that participating students have amassed this autumn will provide the foundation for creative interdisciplinary presentations at the annual Student Watershed Summit coordinated by The Freshwater Trust and the Upper Deschutes Watershed Council in May 2011. Stay tuned...
Cheers,
Kolleen
