乌鸦翼SWCD船员:自然资源保护队
这 资源保护队 crew served with Crow Wing County Soil 和 Water Conservation District to help monitor water quality in the county.
今年夏天你有哪些值得骄傲的项目?
Crew: “The project that highlights our experiences the best is our time spent doing 319 Lake monitoring on the Whitefish chain of lakes. We went out on a boat with a volunteer who lives on the lake in order to collect water samples for lab testing 和 use a Sonde probe to record data such as temperature, 溶解氧, pH, 和 conductivity of the various lakes at different depths.”

We were able to experience working with the public by interacting with the wonderful volunteers. 另外, we were able to get field work experience 通过 the collection of samples 和 data collection. 也, we got to see the workings of the lab where the samples were tested as well as how all these different roles worked together 和 were crucial to monitoring the health of the ecosystem.”
