BioSITE

BioSITE is a field-based environmental science program in which students learn watershed ecology and environmental stewardship through inquiry investigations and cross-age mentorship. Trained high school students serve as mentors for small teams of elementary students, creating a community of learners that works together performing water quality tests and engaging in fun educational activities along local creeks throughout the school year.
