This was the first waterwatch for our newly formed environmental group from the college. The training session carried out by Tobey went well and all students showing great interest with the topics covered. Hands on during the lessons was carried out by the majority and enthusiasm present. Bug sampling created more interest. Next month we are hoping to visit the swamp with emphasis on identifying local wetland inhabitants and vegetation. If time permits maybe bug sampling. Litter pollutants paper, bottles, cans, polystyrene, cardboard, balls, wood.
