The "Skunk River Navy"
This group of Iowa State University students evaluated habitat conditions in the Skunk River, Story County. Lead by Jim Colbert, participants attended a monitoring workshop before heading to the field last Fall. In addition to collecting valuable habitat information, they collected an unbelievable amount of trash including a bath tub, hide-a-bed, and many, many automobile tires!
