7:12 The DNA In Water (Part 2)

Back in November, Bryan took a walk up to Polhill Reserve to collect a sample of water for the Citizen Science project called Wai Tūwhera o te Taiao - Open Waters Aotearoa which invites us to take samples from our local stream, lake, beach, river so they can identify the DNA left behind by anything living in that waterbody. 

Well, the results are in so Bryan is off on another walk.
