2nd Htb PAVA Creek Education Program

After the first Heal the Bay PAVA Stream Team Project, 18 new high school students participated in the second round of the creek education program. The students in this round came from many different districts among the PAVA Jr. organization including Irvine, Los Angeles, Valencia, and Apple Valley.

Unlike the previous round, the Heal the Bay organization hosted a type of orientation for the students to preview the scientific materials they will be working with at the creeks the following week.

The orientation took place at the Heal the Bay headquarters in Santa Monica on Saturday, August 20, 2010. The staff members also taught the students more about ocean conservation and information about the Riparian zones and storm drain systems around the coast of Los Angeles. The students again went to Compton Creek and Malibu Creek State Park.
