Project:

Does Turtle Pond Support Wetland Indicator Plants?

Students:

Annika Maduraperuma, Mira Gulati, Leo Rodriguez, Ani Sharma

School:

The Dalton School, Manhattan

Mentors:

Andy Chen

Abstract:

Our goal is to determine whether or not Turtle Pond contains wetland indicator plants. We aim to determine this by identifying the plants either living along the shoreline in the waterlogged soil or living in the water. By identifying the wetland indicator rating of these plants, we can extrapolate whether or not Turtle Pond is really a freshwater wetland.
