Water monitoring at the Brook Sanctuary

By Lachlan
On Friday 25 March, Room 15 got to go to the Brook Sanctuary. When we got there Rick gave us a demonstration on how the stoat trap works - it gave me a fright.


Then we went down to the river and said a karakia. We used the water clarity tube to see how clear the river water is.

After that we all got a net, a paintbrush and an ice cream container and went to catch some bugs.



Fifty minutes later me and Finnian caught a koura.

We used a ball and stopwatch to test how fast the river was flowing.
It was an awesome day.
