Three Volunteers in Stream Monitoring Program stand looking to the left of the camera. The woman in a green coat on the right is holding a flat mesh bait bag at the level of her collarbone.
Two volunteers on a bridge with a wooden railing and cement footings. The person on the right is holding the string of a bait bag, which is hanging down just below the level of the cement. A girl with dyed pink hair in a black sweatshirt faces the bridge from the water, tying a string to one of the wooden posts.
Five students standing in a row, looking over the bridge railing.
