Attendees will learn about the basics of stream ecology including the intricate interactions that occur between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. We'll have a chance to wade into Ridley Creek and investigate under rocks for macroinvertebrates (aquatic insects), some of which can be reliable indicators of stream health. Participants will leave with a heightened awareness of how each of our individual actions can make a difference in our shared watershed.
Wear shoes that can be immersed in water, boots, or waders. This is your chance to activate your inner child as we flip rocks and look for animals!
This program is part of our on-going ECOcentric Lecture Series for adults.
