Woodinville Montessori School


CESC recently guided 1-3 graders from the Woodinville Montessori School through the basics of stream monitoring. Led by Dr. David Bain, CESC members helped these young students understand the natural characteristics, the chemistry and the physical parameters of a nearby stream.  This field class will be followed soon by two more.  A wet debut but a success!
