CARE students count the trees

W.L. Seaton Students display their Wonderful Wetlands CARE project

As part of their Climate Action Ripple Effect Wonderful Wetlands project, three students from W.L. Seaton Secondary School in Vernon made field trips to Pleasant Valley Wetland Heritage Park to study carbon sequestration in the more than 600 trees, shrubs and plants. They logged the age and species of each tree from observation and from information provided by BC Small Wetlands Association staff. The data was recorded on a spreadsheet containing formulae that calculated carbon sequestration by species and age.
