Teaching at Glendale

Taking notes at Glendale

The new facility at Glendale allows students the opportunity to study the plentiful nature around it, including the waters of Lawson's Fork Creek.

Students examine various invertebrates, and other aquatic insects gathered from the creek.

The shoals at the Glendale facility are a great place to study the environment.
