Abstract:

The goal of this project is to examine the different organisms in the playground in Crocheron Park. Small invertebrates will be collected six inches from the swing set. The influence of human interaction in this part of the park will have a negative effect on the biodiversity found there. From this, the DNA will be collected and sent out for further research.
