Everett: Stream education for kids
The Northwest Stream Center is offering a two-part watershed ecology class for children in the fourth grade and older. Adult supervision is required.
The class starts with stream and wetland terminology. Habitat requirements and the life cycle of salmon also will be introduced, followed by a hands-on lesson about aquatic insects, which are near the bottom of the sealife food web.
The class will take a walk next to North Creek to identify native plants that are critical buffers for salmon habitat.
The classes will be 10 a.m. to noon Nov. 9 and 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Nov. 16 at the Northwest Stream Center, 600 128th St. SE. The cost is $5 for members and $7 for nonmembers. Tickets must be purchased in advance.
