The Stream field study was another 'class' we had.
We hiked into the closest creek...
We didn't take this trail, but this photographer liked the sign, with all the moss on it..
Isn't it beautiful out in the forest?
At the creek, we learned what numbers we would see if the creek was 'healthy.'
Talking about salmon, we got to see the stages of salmon...
We compared ourselves to the size of a full grown salmon...
We took the temperature of the water...
Aaron threw the thermometer in...but lost it as it went in...
Not to worry!!! John hollered at Hunter to run around and jump in the creek and save the thermometer...
That was quick thinking on John's part...and quick action on Hunter's part...
But thanks to Hunter, he saved the day...and the thermometer!!!
YeeHaw, Hunter!
We went back to testing the creek...
and we found that it was healthy....and a good habitat for salmon...
We learned a lot about the stream...and what salmon need for their survival!
