Nature Detective in the Creek

Spend the day near the water getting to know creek creatures and their habitats. Participants will perform a stream water-quality investigation, look for clues left by the park’s beavers (more than just chewed trees), play games, and take home a craft, a bandana, and their own net with collecting container. Bring lunch and a drink. Registration is required.
