NEW Water held its 4th annual Student Monitoring Event with students from Oneida Nation High School and Bay Port High School. The student monitoring initiative is part of NEW Water’s Silver Creek Project, where best management practices are being installed in a 4,800-acre watershed. For this educational component of the project, NEW Water and Oneida Nation staff engaged students in activities including water monitoring, drone technology, and biological monitoring to determine the health of a body of water. Northeast Wisconsin Technical College provided pro bono classroom space in their new Great Lakes Energy Education Center for the event launch; Amy Kox, Associate Dean of Energy & Sustainability, provided students with information on courses offered at the college in environmental fields.
NEW Water is participating in a joint study with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Zilber School of Public Health regarding toxins present along the shoreline at Bay Beach.

Bright and sunny day for the third year of the Silver Creek Student Monitoring Education outreach effort at the Silver Creek Adaptive Management Pilot Project. Twenty students from Bayport and Oneida High Schools participated in this year’s C.R.E.W. (Committed to Restoring and Enhancing our Waters) event. Oneida High School teacher Greg Holder, and Bayport High School teacher Ryan Weed selected students for this year's C.R.E.W. based on environmental essays they wrote. Three stations were set up to inform the students about stream invertebrates, water quality testing, and drone and GIS work in the watershed.
