(Recommended Grades 2-6)

So where does all of the wastewater go when you drain the kitchen sink…flush the toilet…wash your car? How does the effluent help the environment, especially here at Hidden Valley? How is the wetlands part of the pollution solution?

We will meet Freddie the Fish and follow his adventures upstream. We will hike to the pond to test the water to see if Freddy can survive here.

Main Concepts:

  • Water Cycle
  • Water Shed
  • Water Testing
  • Food Chains
  • Pollution
  • Conservation

For older groups you may want to call the Riverside Water Quality Treatment Plant to coordinate a free tour of that facility along with your visit to Hidden Valley. Their number is (951) 351-6140.
