SCC’s education program is centered at Kimberly Run Natural Area (KNRA) with an emphasis on stream analysis. KRNA is able to provide a specialized area to enhance the curriculum of the local public schools. Our area provides access to a stream for analysis. Students can complete chemical analysis such as pH, dissolved oxygen levels, alkalinity, acidity, iron levels, etc. The students can also judge stream health by doing a stream health index, collecting and identifying macroinvertebrates. These organisms can be pollution tolerant, pollution sensitive or pollution intolerant.
