We took a trip with some of our TN funded graduate students to help take water samples in the Santa Fe Watershed. Will and Sa’angna and Jaz do the trek every month to collect samples that could help inform management practices for the watershed. They are doing some amazing and difficult work.

Looks like a great event from members of the TN at the Center for Science Teaching and Learning - Northern Arizona University!
