🎣🌲 SUNY Plattsburgh CEES presents "Volunteer-Driven Watershed Restoration in the Adirondack Park" with Colin Powers, Executive Director of the Boquet River Association - BRASS.

For 40 years, BRASS volunteers have planted 270,000+ trees, removed dams, and protected water quality. Now they're testing Low-Tech Process Based Restoration in the Adirondacks — hand-built structures (no machinery) that slow erosion and recharge aquifers.

Worth a look if you care about healthy streams. 💧

See you on Friday at 3:30pm at Hudson Hall, SUNY Plattsburgh.

Citizen science underway! 🤓

Today, Lake Champlain TU members gathered to learn how to build stream data-logging devices—and build them we did!

We were recently awarded an Embrace A Stream grant from Trout Unlimited to monitor depth and temperature in several North Country streams using HOBO data loggers.

Today was our first step: learning the setup and assembling the equipment.

In a few weeks, we’ll be deploying them in the water. More updates to come!
