UWM School of Freshwater Sciences undergrad students in the Capstone class, led by Dr. Ryan Newton, partnered with Lakeshore Natural Resource Partnership (LNRP) to support restoration work on the Valley Creek Corridor in Port Washington, WI. The students provided data which will help to prevent flooding and protect from infrastructure damage.
The School of Freshwater Sciences Capstone class aims to challenge students to put their learning into action. Skills like analyzing stream data for a current project give them real-world experience and also supports bigger projects to improve water quality. LNRP has posted the final report and a water quality fact sheet on their blog.
