The visit was sponsored by the West Interlake Watershed Conservation District and had two interpreters guide students in wetland wildlife, plant ecology, weather, watersheds, GPS and geocaching. These lessons help students understand the impor- tance of wetlands and are designed to get them interested in the preserva- tion of the ecosystem.
