Piedmont Environmental Center's Aqua Camp

Piedmont Environmental Center’s Aqua Camp is all about water! Campers worked to determine which river basin they live in and tested pH and dissolved oxygen levels to find out how healthy our water is. On the second day, they examined what is living in our local water resource by collecting and identifying plants, invertebrates and fish.
