Designed by Environmental Biology students at Ulster County Community College, the Aquatic Logic program has visited multiple grade schools in the Ulster County area since 1998. Aquatic Logic was created to expose the younger generation to our complex biological world, and the effects of human impact. The primary focus is on freshwater ecosystems.
Ulster County has an abundance of highly recognizable, protected, and diverse water systems.
This environment creates a perfect setting for our program. Interns focus on specific criteria that are presented in the classroom. A strong influence is placed on the hands-on portion of the program. Our experience shows that this section of the program has had the greatest response. Stream macroinvertebrate samples are analyzed.
