Johnson creek watershed is a fun place to go if you are an outdoor person, or just enjoy being outside. We are 7th and 8th grade interns from Southwest Charter School that like nature. We came to Johnson Creek every Thursday for 8 weeks and got to experience something new each week. While we have been here we have explored this wonderful park. We are here because we are outdoors people, so we have really enjoyed this internship. The purpose of this internship is to learn while still having fun and enjoying the outdoors. This also gives us the opportunity to gain some work-like experience and give back to the community.
If you are going to visit the park we suggest you go into the water. You should bring waterproof boots and/or Johnson Creek Watershed Council can let you borrow a pair. Also the view is nice and there is a path if you want to bike or walk through the park. While we were here we saw many different kinds of wildlife, trees, bugs, and flower, “but dem weevils doe.”
While we where here we researched the Bumble Bee Project that is a organization built to help catalog bees. The main purpose is for scientists to see and study bee’s that we thought to be long gone.
Check out this link for a cool video about endangered bumble bees.
We studied the creek and found and saw an otter and captured a crawdad,and a small fish. ♦♦♦. We have enjoyed this enter-ship so much. We hope that we can come back next year!◊♠♣♥♦
