Flip rocks (carefully, and return them to their original position when you are finished), identify macro invertebrates and try your hand at catching crayfish.
We will have buckets, nets and macro guides available outside the back doors of the Nature Center; lower (creek) level. You may also download your own Macro guide.
This program will run through the end of September, or until the creek becomes inaccessible do to heavy rains.
All you have to do is go outdoors and take a photograph or draw a moment in nature that catches your eye – a ladybug, a beautiful leaf, a shoreline, backyard birdfeeder, spider web, winding trail at a local park... anything nature-oriented!
