On July 2nd, middle and high school students will get a crash course on the St. Lawrence River ecosystem at the Thousand Islands Land Trust’s new Discovery Center before taking a boat ride to the Thousand Islands Biological Station on Governor’s Island! There, they’ll learn from university scientists led by the esteemed Dr. John Farrell about their research into fisheries, river health, and invasive species through a series of hands-on lessons and activities. After taking lunch aboard one of Clayton Island Tours’ boats during a guided tour of the Thousand Islands, the students will disembark at the Antique Boat Museum. There, they’ll enjoy a variety of interactive programs, including an Aquatic ROV exploration session with the USCG’s Marine Safety Unit and a Mock Oil Spill Cleanup lesson with a specialist from the DEC’s Spill Response Division! Throughout the day, Save The River will also be running a selection of our most popular educational programs!
