Identifying risks to natural ecosystems

The Swan and Canning rivers are an important part of life in Perth; that ecosystem is also an important part of the biodiversity of the region. Students conduct a site survey to assess such factors as vegetation, animal life and human impacts. They then conduct water quality testing to see what measures of pH, salinity, turbidity and nutrients tell us about the health of the environment.
This excursion can be tailored to the needs of Years 4- 6 or 7 – 12.
