Welcome to the Jones Bridge Park Stream Habitat Survey activity! This is a virtual tour of a small tributary to the Chattahoochee River that has seen better days.

In order to understand how human activities impact habitat for wildlife, the Georgia Adopt-a-Stream Habitat Survey will allow you to score this stream to determine its status. While it is always best to get outside and explore nature, this activity can be done in the classroom or at home!

More information can be found at the Georgia Adopt-a-Stream website.
