Healthy Streams
Rivers are the lifeblood of our land. We use the water to drink, provide for our plants, wild animals rely on it, farmers use the water, our native forests need it to survive and we use it for our enjoyment. So why aren’t we taking care of our local rivers? 80% of our rivers are poor quality. They’re polluted by things like top soil, our local dairy farms and more. Our class is going to test the health of a local stream and if we all help we can save our rivers.
