Eagle Marsh
By Olivia, Grade 5
Eagle Marsh was very interesting. I liked trying to get rid of the Canadian Thistle. Mu group mixed together laundry detergent, mouthwash and lotion. The we poured it over the Canadian Thistle.
It was cool when we dipped nets in the pond to find things. We found a baby crawfish and some frog eggs. It made us very happy when we found right-sided shells. Right-sided shells are only found in non-polluted water.If we had found a left-sided shell, that would have meant that the water was polluted.

Eagle Marsh was a great experience.The first time we went,we saw hundreds of monarchs! We also saw lots of frogs, animal tracks and even an eagle. We did experiments on more effective ways to kill Canadian thistle, which we came to check on when we went the second time -- we tried a different way. The second time we visited we helped rake up Canary Grass and did pond research. We caught crayfish and snails. Did you know that is the opening of a snail shell is on the top and it pointed to the right, then it means it lives in cleaner water? You should go to Eagle Marsh!
