The River Mile is a network of educators and students collaborating with partners to do real-world science and enhance the health of the Columbia River watershed and beyond, exploring the essential question:
“How do relationships among components of an ecosystem affect watershed health?”
TRM is a participant-driven approach to learning about, researching and exploring the health of the Columbia River watershed and beyond. Participants share best practices, lessons learned, examples, links to resources, and real-world scientific data.
Students and teachers engage in science education outdoors and explore scientific practices through real-world resource projects. Groups become intimately familiar with their outdoor classroom by spending time in the field investigating and researching their section of the watershed. Learn More »
