A homeschool group visited Lake Johnson this week to learn about water quality.
Neuse Riverkeeper Samantha Krop and Stormwater Education Coordinator Sierra Stickney were at Lake Johnson this week, introducing homeschooled students to water quality. Approximately 65 children, ages 6-12, in addition to parents, learned about the Neuse watershed, stormwater runoff and the value of wetlands. Interactive activities include students wading into the lake to use Sechhi disks — a simple, lightweight tool that measures water clarity — and illustrating how wetlands work for water quality with Ecoscapes.
