The children with scientists Aileen Bright & Sabina Moore participated in water sampling on the Camac, looking for pollution-sensitive and pollution-tolerant invertebrates. They found flattened mayflies, Waterhouse & snails, and brown caddisfly. The children really enjoyed their water sampling on the river and will continue to join Friends of the Camac in the monthly clean-up.

Congratulations to teacher Paula  and Class members and well done all.
