It was an absolutely gorgeous day for LHS River Watch students to take their first sampling trip of the year. We got to 2 of our 4 sites today. Pictured are the students in action, taking data for tapedown, clarity, temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, and pH. We even got to play a little "catch the disc in the secchi tube," a favorite in the field!
