Get your feet wet and explore life in the creek. Using the creek as a laboratory, we will search under rocks for aquatic life and discover how these critters can help us determine the health of the stream. We will have a short hike to the creek, so please wear comfortable shoes. This program is conducted in accordance with Virginia Law; park staff possess the proper permits and training to collect and briefly handle wildlife.
