Once we geared up in our waders, we followed one of the park rangers on a brief yet insightful hike. As we walked, we picked up any trash we found and discussed how to minimize our impact on the nature around us. The main purpose of our visit was to place leaf packs; a tool to measure water quality. Leaf packs essentially act as nests for macroinvertebrates in the water to live in. We filled small nets with dead leaves and dropped them into the river, and will wait for the macroinvertebrates to move in. If the water is healthy, there will be a high volume of macroinvertebrates, if the water is unhealthy, there will be less. I think we were all surprised with how much fun we had on the hike, the rain brought out worms, frogs, and spiders all of which we learned about. We had fun rescuing spiders from puddles and trudging through the murky water, but most of all enjoyed the amazing nature at Lake Tawakoni State Park. https://dallaseei.org/blog/2019/3/11/haauknee-slabs-az-sntak-efndx monthly 0.5 2025-12-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fca6b43fd136214efa0d12c/146d9773-7750-4f60-9cfb-33166003e83f/that+ork..png Blog - Future Water Guardians: High School Interns Dive into Dallas’s Oldest Treatment Plant - Make it stand out Image Created by: Summer Intern 2025 https://dallaseei.org/blog/2019/3/11/echo-range-mx-2rxcs-4373a monthly 0.5 2025-12-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fca6b43fd136214efa0d12c/654a01da-1a94-4093-a716-6716d3aa59f9/Freshwater+Infographic+Image.jpg Blog - The Surprising Scarcity of Freshwater - Make it stand out Image Curtesy of Anna Zaha, Dallas EEI Summer 2025 intern. https://dallaseei.org/blog/2019/3/11/monmouth-glacier-ak-sy7cd-jxkpn monthly 0.5 2025-12-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fca6b43fd136214efa0d12c/c4bc3965-c100-4917-9dad-a201e17bd60a/Alyssa+White+Rock+Reaction+JPEG.jpg Blog - Breaking Down the White Rock Pump Station: A Student Intern’s Graphic - Make it stand out Image created by 2025 Summer intern Alyssa. https://dallaseei.org/blog/2019/3/11/misty-mountains-me-menex-ffwes monthly 0.5 2025-12-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fca6b43fd136214efa0d12c/ee7d5174-f717-4172-ac1e-9b556f02e70c/Patrick+JBS+JPEG.jpg Blog - Conservation Lessons from the John Bunker Sands Wetlands - Make it stand out Graphic courtesy of 2025 intern Patrick. https://dallaseei.org/dallas-environmental-education-initiative daily 1.0 2025-11-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fca6b43fd136214efa0d12c/1607531636196-S4KJ6MF8IFYC7E559UMQ/Aquifer%2BLesson.jpg Dallas Environmental Education Initiative Fourth grade Students learning about water retention and aquifers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fca6b43fd136214efa0d12c/1607531608636-DPH6O02VZXCENV2F0O07/MS%252BTeaching.jpg Dallas Environmental Education Initiative Middle school students discussing water conservation and water quality and how they can impact their City’s Water. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fca6b43fd136214efa0d12c/1607531585139-EHUU42KHEAHEG354H924/HS%2BInternship%2BPresentation.jpg Dallas Environmental Education Initiative High school interns present their summer research findings to the City of Dallas. https://dallaseei.org/hands-on-research-project daily 0.75 2024-09-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fca6b43fd136214efa0d12c/1615481969044-WK0XITS6ADDIPS9U4WHZ/Summit%2B2015.jpg Hands-On Research Project - Propose a Water Conservation Project In August The first step is the proposal.
