๐Ÿ›Yesterday for Wetland Wednesday we visited 4 g ๐Ÿ›Yesterday for Wetland Wednesday we visited 4 grade 6 classes at Mary Queen of Peace Elementary. 

We learned about river ecosystems, what species live there; such as American eel and macroinvertebrate's. 

We did a hands on activity where we all became river biologists. Each student conducted their own stream assessment where they sampled, identified each species, sorted, and completed data analysis comparing data trends.

This is part of a 3 year wetland project funded by @fisheriesoceanscan

Happy #wetlandwednesday! Did you know the Memorial Happy #wetlandwednesday! Did you know the Memorial University Botanical Garden Located in St.Johns, NL, hosts many types of natural wetland spaces? 

While visiting our friends at the @mun_botanical_garden, We were able to observe this beautiful bog rosemary just about to bloom growing in a fen!

Fun fact: Bog rosemary is part of the Heath / Ericaceae family. Although it resembles rosemary, it does not have the same rosemary fragrance as our typical culinary rosemary, and you can't eat this species. ๐ŸŒฟ

Thank you for having us @mun_botanical_garden ๐Ÿชด
