Go Creek Seining with Citizens for Conservation

Kids over the age of six can take part in this popular class on August 18.

 

Take part in Citizens for Conservation's (CFC) Creek Seining Class with seining expert and long-time CFC volunteer, Tom Vanderpoel on August 18. 

We will meet at CFC, drive to a local site, and use seining nets to see what is in the water. Will there be frogs, fish, mussels, larvae? Be prepared to get wet and muddy. Please dress according to the weather—layers are best. Water shoes, boots, or shoes are required and must be worn at all times. Bring your own drinking water and use mosquito spray at home.
