It's been a treat to watch the watershed wake up this year during our Teen Aquatic Stewardship program! Working with our partners @ Adirondack Mountain Club, we covered water chemistry, hydrology, riverbank restoration, aquatic organisms, leave no trace, & more.

We had a great time talking about aquatic insects with anglers at this year's Ausable River Two-Fly Challenge. 🤓 It's always fun hearing people "ooooo" and "ewwww" while peering at their favorite insects with a microscope.

Carrie and Liz attended a benthic macroinvertebrate (aquatic insect) course in the mountains of NC. We're always grateful for the chance to learn and deepen skill sets in support of the research & habitat recovery work we're doing in the Adirondacks and Lake Champlain Basin.

The willow catkins are bursting and the bees are a buzzing! Spring is here!✌️Native willow shrubs are easy to propagate from seed or cuttings & grow quickly, making them one of our top choices for replanting along rivers and streams to help secure the bank.

Alongside our collaborators @ Paul Smith’s College AWI, we gave the Mirror Lake buoy a spring spruce-up, data download & battery refresh. The buoy continuously records conductivity, temperature, & dissolved oxygen at multiple depths, providing insight into overall lake health. x.com/ausablecenter/status/2…
