The first annual teacher training workshop for watershed monitoring was held July 21-24, 2003, at UWGB. Teachers from Green Bay Southwest, Markesan, Appleton East, and Luxemburg-Casco schools met with university researchers to discuss curriculum opportunities, receive field methods, and participate in hands-on data collection training. The workshop provided a unique opportunity for teachers to work directly with scientists on environmental research, with training on stream water quality assessment, habitat identification, macroinvertebrate collection, and bird and amphibian monitoring. 2003 Workshop Schedule Article in Green Bay Press Gazette
