Apes Dissolved Oxygen Testers

Funded Nov 9, 2023

Thank you for donating funds that allowed me to purchase a dissolved oxygen meter for use in the Danville creek. Your support and generosity have played a vital role in our efforts to monitor and preserve the health of this important natural resource. The dissolved oxygen meter you provided have significantly enhanced our ability to gather accurate data on the oxygen levels within the creek. Dissolved oxygen is crucial for aquatic life, and maintaining optimal levels is essential for the overall health of the ecosystem. As the students use the meters they have been able to better understand their impacts on our local watershed.

Later in the semester we will be using the meters to monitor oxygen in our student designed ecocolumns. Utilizing data from ecocolumns provides a hands-on and immersive learning experience in understanding sustainability and human impacts on ecosystems. Ecocolumns serve as microcosms, replicating natural environments and allowing students to observe firsthand how various factors, such as oxygen levels, pH, and biodiversity, interact within an ecosystem.

Once again, thank you for your kindness and generosity. We are incredibly fortunate to have donors like you who share our passion for environmental conservation.”

With gratitude,

Ms. Henderson
