Welcome to the Leaf Pack Network, an international network of people investigating their local stream ecosystems. Leaf Pack Network is part of WikiWatershed, an initiative of Stroud Water Research Center to help people advance knowledge and stewardship of fresh water.
Students in Michigan discovered what was impacting their stream and then developed a plan to restore it with native plantings.
Students will learn to design, implement, and analyze a scientific investigation while discovering the value of aquatic macroinvertebrates as living indicators of water quality. The kit is reusable and flexible, adaptable to varying time constraints, number of students and grade levels, and it is geographically friendly, and complete.
Christina Medved gave a leaf pack presentation at the Pennsylvania Association of Conservation Districts Environmental Education Conference and she gave a three-hour “Streams Within a Watershed Context” workshop at Kean University.
Education Programs Manager and Leaf Pack Network® Administrator Christina Medved attended the annual meeting of the Society for Freshwater Science held in Jacksonville, Fla., in May 2013.
