Attention, environmental biology and ecology high school teachers-- New Hampshire Fish and Game's Watershed Education Program has an exciting new format that will put your students where the action is in their own watershed. The program builds on a framework presented in three phases:

• Phase I- Water quality and macro-invertebrate identification
• Phase II- assessing the influence of land use on aquatic communities using GIS
• Phase III- in the future, elements of aquatic resource management through habitat mapping and population studies will be added to the program.

This hands-on program gives your students the opportunity to use the latest technology while assessing natural resources in their community. For more information, call (603) 271-3212 .
