About the event
Max group size 25 (drop in/out style rather than hike) Meet in Harrison Park (by the river just east of the playground washrooms) to learn tips on how to identify aquatic insects like (larval) dragonflies, damselflies, mayflies, caddisflies and more. Rosie will have tables set up with microscopes and invertebrates collected from a nearby beaver pond. This event (it is not a hike) will run from 1:00-4:00 on a drop in/drop out basis with a maximum of 25 people at any one time. The Owen Sound Young Naturalists have been invited to join us from 2pm to 4pm. Rosie will be giving a stream sampling demonstration and will talk briefly about differences between organisms living in lentic and lotic habitats. Kid friendly (please supervise around water)! Please bring a mask if you wish to use the microscopes. Hand sanitizer will be provided.
