John Latimer, a staff writer with the Lebanon Daily News, met up with Christina Medved, education program manager at Stroud Water Research Center, at H.M. Levitz Memorial Park, Grantville, Pa., to get the scoop on why a group of teachers, ecologists, and municipal officials were getting their feet wet in Raccoon Creek on June 27 and 28.
It was part of a water ecology workshop sponsored by the Lebanon County Conservation District and offered through the Consortium for Scientific Assistance to Watersheds. Medved taught participants how to use leaf packs to evaluate water quality. Latimer’s article appeared on the front page of the June 29, 2011 issue of the Lebanon Daily News.
