Here Come the River Guardians!
River Quest will now expand into a year-round water testing and stream monitoring project with the assistance of 5 schools in 5 different counties. Love A Sea Turtle will provide water testing equipment, supplies and support along with the River Guardian Foundation to engage over 1,000 students in water conservation and river awareness.
Water Testing – August 31
Today, we went back to our River Quest route and performed water testing at 8 sites from Goldsboro to New Bern.
We attached Stow It-Don’t Throw It monofilament recycling containers on our kayaks during River Quest. They were used a lot! Now we’ll dispose of the fishing line properly!
River Quest to Summer Camps
We’ll take 1 day of rest from our 100 mile kayak journey and then begin a summer of outdoor environmental camps to emphasize our upstream downstream connection.
River Awareness Day in Kinston with Lenoir County Boys & Girls Club members. Turtle Team provided kayak instruction, service learning with a monofilament recycling project and water science with assistance from George Matthis of River Guardian Foundation!
Engaging others about our impact of the river to the sea.
