Who, What, Where in the Water

Location of Hungry Mother State Park in Virginia

Where

Hungry Mother State Park, 2854 Park Blvd., Marion, VA 24354.
Raider's Run Trailhead

When

July 8, 2022. 3:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.

There's a quick way to determine whether the park's waters are healthy, and that's by looking at the critters that live beneath the surface.

We'll be making a quick craft before heading into the creek to hunt for the remarkable animals that live below. Who do you think we'll find and what do you think they'll tell us?

Wear closed-toed shoes and clothing you don't mind getting dirty or wet.
