Creek Walk with Ron Hirschi

Ron Hirschi is a biologist, environmentalist, and children's author. He combined with some Dublin art teachers created the Riverboxes along the Scioto River. During the fall art classes at St. Brigid, each student created a Riverbox log/journal, then visited each river box. Ron visited St. Brigid in the fall and took each class out to the pond and studied the pond life. He came back March 30th to take the classes through the creek.Ron Hirschi talks to the students to prepare them for the journey and what to look for.Mac's class observing and searching.Ron and Partick Young wading.Mrs. Habel, art teacher, discusses a speciman found with Molly and Natalie.
