Key Advisory Accomplishments
Egg mass surveys at Lacamas Prairie and many other waterways throughout Clark County. Students partner with Washington Department of Natural Resources to collect amphibian egg mass data at a nature preserve. Egg mass data allows policy makers to assess the species present and for certain species they can even infer population size from this data.

College in the High School: Students taking Biology, Forestry/Wildlife, or Chemistry at CASEE can receive 5 credits of college science for each of those courses thanks to support from Everett Community College professors.
