Peak Virtual Academy Students Investigate Soil Remediation Near the Uncompahgre River

The focus of this STEM/Problem-Based Learning Initiative is for students to determine if soil remediation near tamarisk plants would be necessary post removal prior to native plant reintroduction. Student findings were submitted to a panel of soil scientists for their review and feedback. The results of this work will be part of a “Riparian Restoration Management Plan” that will include removal and replacement of invasive plant species.
