Hike explores local watershed
Listening to the River Project uses technology to study natural areas
Funded in 2006 for three years by a National Science Foundation grant as a pilot project, the three-phase Listening to the River harnesses area teens to explore, document and create exhibits about the Grand Traverse Bay watershed.
The final phase of the Listening to the River project will be to create a model that other communities can copy and modify for their specific needs.
"Because it's a National Science Foundation grant, obviously our overall goal is to figure this out in our community so that other communities can duplicate it,” said Kitzman.
