Creek Critter Event

Locust Grove Nature Center (Creekside at the Sycamore Amphitheater)

​

Ever wonder what lives in the creek?  Join us for a free family activity identifying the critters frolicking in Cabin John Creek.  

​

We'll lead teams through an interactive field exercise to catch and identify critters (macroinvertebrates) in the creek.  A stream health report is generated from the Audubon Naturalist Society's CREEK CRITTERS® app, based on the macros that are found.
