Our ERS 340 class spent the other week learning about OBBN (Ontario Benthic Biomonitoring Network) protocol. Students went to North Campus to collect samples then took them back into the lab to identify!

Lately, it has been all things trees at our ENVS 200 labs! Students learned about restoration efforts at the North Campus Environmental Reserve and planted their own trees. This week students learned about tree ID using Trees in Canada books 🌲🌳🍃 #ecology #treeidentification
