Appalachia Program Sponsoring Workshop on Water Quality

TMI’s Appalachia Program is launching a new on-line teacher-training workshop this winter  focusing on the results of student-collected water quality data  from 103 sites throughout the Chesapeake Bay watershed.  Supported by the Chesapeake Bay Funders Network and the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, the “Chesapeake Commons” website  allows teachers, students and the general public to explore over 180 attributes that West Virginia students collected at each stream.  Using an embedded map and database, visitors can also create their own maps, provide additional data to TMI and export information to other sites.  More information, including access to the “Chesapeake Commons,” can be found on TMI’s website at:http://mountain.org/sites/default/files/attachments/57852_proof.pdf.
