Students in science teacher and environmental sustainability lead Chris Labosier’s Water Resources course recently had the chance to meet the professionals who help protect the rivers in CA’s own backyard. Two staff members from OARS—the nonprofit that stewards the Assabet, Sudbury, and Concord rivers—visited the class to share how they monitor water quality, restore ecosystems, and address real-world challenges like invasive species, aging dams, and undersized culverts. Their visit brought to life the complex connections between human development and watershed health, deepening students’ understanding of the local environment.
