Brunswick Land Trust/CREA: Student Research Presentations- Mt Ararat Advanced Biology
Join us in celebrating and learning from high school scientists! Under the guidance of teacher Rebecca Norklun, students from Mt. Ararat High School’s Advanced Biology class spent their fall semester conducting research on the Cathance River Nature Preserve, alongside local scientist mentors. Once a week during September and October students spent the morning with their scientist mentors, recording game camera footage to learn about mammal populations, using binoculars to spy on bird populations, and collecting data to contribute to a long term forest study plot that has been monitored since the early 2000s. Students developed research questions and then dealt with the realities of collecting and compiling real world data throughout the fall semester. Now it is time to present their data to the public.
