NSEA's Streamside Science program provides high school
students with an opportunity to study stream ecology first hand and to plan and implement
their own stream restoration project as part of their year-long biology
research projects. NSEA staff
and students meet at NSEA's office and at a field location on Saturdays during the winter months. NSEA staff are also available to meet with
students to provide support and assistance in analyzing their research data.
NSEA is able to provide historical stream data, photos, and field equipment for
loan at the conclusion of the program.The goal of this program is to guide students through their research projects by providing mentorship and workshops illustrating methods for scientific data collection in riparian ecosystems. Students are also able to design and implement a streamside habitat restoration project in the Squalicum Creek watershed. Although this program focuses on the science of stream and salmon ecology, it is our hope that participants will also walk away with a greater understanding of the natural connections that make up riparian ecosystems and a greater sense of stewardship.
