of students since. Claire Todd, an award-winning professor of geosciences and environmental studies, currently teaches Environmental Studies 350. How do students go about conducting this research? They collect water, and biologic and geologic samples from different locations in the watershed. They analyze these samples in PLU’s Rieke Science Center — identifying organisms that live in the creek and measuring the chemical characteristics of the water collected. All of this is accomplished in our

create an outdoor classroom, where the wider community will be invited to explore the relationship between humans and the environment though interpretive signage. The signage will recognize the natural history of the area, including the historic presence of Clover Creek on campus and indigenous populations, water quality issues and other human impacts on the environment. The volunteerism, stewardship and community connections of this project may allow PLU to apply its experience with habitat
