Bugging Out: Family Stream Adventure
When: Sat, June 26, 1pm – 3pm
Where: Grafton, VT (map)
Description:
Meet at the Nature Museum. $20/family (1a + 2k) $5/extra kid ...$10/extra adult. Half of the proceeds will be donated to Southeastern Vermont Watershed Alliance (SeVWA). Join Rebecca Salem of the SeVWA in this adventure for the whole family. This workshop will give participants the chance to learn about the water cycle and its relationship to the life cycles of dragonflies, mayflies, and other common insects. We will splash around in the stream near the Nature Museum looking under rocks and sifting through the stream bottom to find the many animals that live there. As we learn to identify what we find we will explore how these tiny creatures have adapted to survive in different types of streams and rivers. Be sure to bring a water bottle and sturdy shoes for walking in the stream. Please pre-register. 15 participants maximum.
