Ms. Rojas's 3rd grade students at Cutchogue East Elementary School are studying an interdunal swale habitat at the Harper's Preserve in Southold (Peconic Land Trust preserved). They visited the site in October and collected scientific data: sand, soil, water, and air temperatures, identified flora and fauna, noted visual and sound observations, and documented the habitat's characteristics in photographs.
