Climate Change, Forests, and Stream Ecosystems- What If You Can’t See the Forest for the Smoke?

Gr5-HS. Forests are essential indicators of climate and environmental health. Assess forest health with hands-on activities such as calculating carbon storage in trees and assessing soil saturation using field methods. Stream surveying highlights climate impacts occurring in local Passaic waters. Analyze field collected water quality results and learn about what the inhabitants of the stream can tell us about stream health. Use water quality and forest data to explore solutions that support both human and ecological health and encourage positive, problem solving mentalities. Activities focus on assessing the value of green and blue spaces for climate mitigation and creating resilient communities. FULL DAY
