ALT We teamed up with the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum, Lake Champlain Sea Grant, and the Adirondack Watershed Institute to bring a Giant Map of the Lake Champlain Basin to Keene Central Schools. Last week, the 5th and 6th grade class learned about the Ausable River Watershed through the giant map, and today, we went into the field for a hands on experience through biological monitoring, physical habitat, and water quality tests.
