Today we led a lesson about invasive aquatic plants with the Natural Resource students at Tri-County Tech Center. What’s the best way to learn about invasive plant impact, what they look like and what to do about them? Go out there and try to find them! So, that’s what we did! Students conducted an invasive plant survey - they monitored the littoral zone, took plant samples within that zone, sorted plant samples and then IDed the samples using a dichotomous key. Super fun, informative day learning with these students! 🌱🛶
