About the event

Clean water is important to both wildlife and humans. Learn about macroinvertebrates and how they help determine water quality. We will collect animals along the edge of the lake, perform water quality tests, and learn about aquatic food webs. Participants will be getting in the water, so rubber boots or other sturdy, waterproof shoes are a must! Parents/guardians are welcome to stay for the program or drop-off.
