Do you like to get muddy and search for the tiniest critters living in a stream or pond? Ecosystems are quite complex and diverse.

A ranger has collected specimens from multiple aquatic habitats and locations throughout the Park. Using ID sheets for stream insects, macroinvertebrates, and crustaceans, let's determine which species we've collected!  Once we've determined the species we can learn more about each one! This event is part of our National Kids to Parks Day celebration.
