Join us for a rewarding and fun time for adults and children who enjoy helping our parks and environment by identifying and counting stream critters to document the health of the stream.
Click stream monitoring and to learn more about the event. It's fun for the whole family to learn what's in the water by seeing and counting stream "critters. The critter count has been changing, but we found some exciting critters, including small crayfish.
