ORONO — University of Maine Cooperative Extension 4-H plans to offer an online workshop for youth ages 12-18 about marshlands and climate change from 1:30 to 2:45 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 23.
“Maine’s Mysterious Marshlands: Using eDNA to Understand Climate Change” will explore Maine’s salt marshes and their environmental DNA to understand the habitat’s role in the midst of a changing climate. Hands-on games and demonstrations will give participants an in-depth view of the science of eDNA and salt marsh ecology, according to a news release from the extension.
UMaine graduate student Heather Richard will lead the workshop. This workshop is supported by Maine EPSCoR at UMaine.
The workshop is free; participation is limited to 15. Required registration closes Friday, Feb. 11.
