We'll stay on quiet waters,so this trip is for the beginner and the accomplished paddler alike. Join Darran Crabtree, Aquatic Ecologist from SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry, for this short course in aquatic ecology. The two lectures will discuss the diversity of local aquatic ecosystems, biological communities and limnological features. The Saturday fieldtrip will feature some regional highlights as discussed in the lectures. Each program focuses on a weekly theme, outdoor activities, mini-nature hikes,snacks and take home projects.
