 Conservation in Action... spotlighting the conservation work of the Asheville Field Office
Educator workshops target priority watersheds - Educators from some of the most biologically important watersheds in Western North Carolina learned how to lead their students in stream monitoring at a series of workshops hosted by the Asheville Field Office. The workshops were held in the Toe, Tuckasegee, and Little Tennessee watersheds – all priority areas outlined in the Asheville Field Office strategic plan. After covering classroom activities, teachers got their feet wet in the river learning about water chemistry; calculated velocity, cross sectional area and discharge; and collected and identified aquatic macroinvertebrates.
