The Bugs Below Zero team partnered with the Belwin Conservancy to help 50 3rd and 4th graders from Battle Creek Elementary in St. Paul learn more about environmental science. Students identified insects, learned more about their key characteristics, and explored their stream-side habitats.

Bugs Below Zero is supported by an interdisciplinary team of experts from the agricultural and environmental sciences, science communication, entomology, fisheries, wildlife, and conservation biology disciplines. Our work combines classroom resources, educational events, digital tools, and a participatory science effort. We focus on winter aquatic insects in trout streams around Minnesota. These bugs are vitally important to the health of trout ecosystems. Partial funding for this project was provided by the Minnesota Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund, as recommended by the Legislative-Citizen Commission on Minnesota Resources (LCCMR).
