| Summary: | This video essay celebrates some of northern Michigan's most threatened wetlands and the young citizen scientists working to better understand and preserve them. Produced by Nature Change, a multimedia magazine dedicated to building conservation literacy among citizens and local officials, the video follows a group of middle level students as they participate in a vernal pool mapping and monitoring project to learn about these quickly disappearing habitats. Share the six-minute video in elementary and middle level science classrooms to inspire other groups of young citizen scientists. |
