High school students – including research and AP Environmental Science classes as well as members of the Science National Honor Society and Students Acting for the Environment Club – recently visited Willetts Creek for stewardship projects in cleaning up garbage as well as water and soil quality testing. The APE students, guided by science teacher Kelly Sepe, tested for dissolved oxygen, biological oxygen demand, pH, salinity, temperature, turbidity, total dissolved solids, phosphorus, nitrates and the presence of coliform bacteria, then analyzed the results and answered discussion questions based on their experiences.
