Each year, AEM Inc. staff volunteers their time to teach the 7th grade class of Christian Heritage Academy about river ecology. They man stations such as the hydrolab station which measures the water temperature, pH, turbidity and dissolved oxygen as well as a station that measures the flow of the stream. They also examine the macro and microinvertebrates found in the river- they even found an Illinois darter, a crappie and a handful of crayfish for the kids to observe.
