Lillian Carrell Errol Dychiuchay Elizabeth Goldstein Robert Kent Samantha Lewin 11 December 2014 Landscape Architecture 12 Macroinvertebrates of Strawberry Creek: A Study of the Environmental Effects on Macroinvertebrate Life Ecology is the study of the relationship between organisms and their environment. - J. Reese Voshell, Jr., A Guide to Common Freshwater Invertebrates of North America Statement of Purpose: In this experiment, our ultimate goal was to draw correlations and conclusions based on data from macroinvertebrate collection and corresponding environmental factors along one particular fork of Strawberry Creek.

Strawberry Creek serves as an excellent source of data, for there are various points along the creek where the environment is vastly different since th
