As school starts soon, there is no better time than now to reflect on our summer. A key highlight of our summer was our Project Hi-FLOW program with 14 curious & adventurous local high school students!
Project Hi-FLOW (Highschoolers Investigating Finger Lakes & Ontario Watersheds) aimed to introduce students interested in the environment to the conservation field through hands-on experiences with various professional partners within the field.
Students explored state park sites, went electrofishing, pulled aquatic and terrestrial invasive species (hard work!), sampled macroinvertebrates, and explored the cultural aspects of the environment all while learning about the academic and professional backgrounds of the professionals they met.
Thank you to our first cohort of students and to our gracious partners & site visits from NY State Parks & Historic Sites , NYS Department of Environmental Conservation, RMSC Cu***ng Nature Center, Finger Lakes PRISM, Ganondagan State Historic Site, One With All, and Finger Lakes Land Trust.
