Salamander at Hungry Mother

Crawdads, Salamanders, and Stone flies, oh my! Do you like to get hands-on experience looking for cool critters? The Appalachian Mountains are home to many unique aquatic species. Get ready to get your feet wet as we search for some of these and use what we find to keep an eye on how healthy our water is.

This program will satisfy a portion of the "Outdoor Adventure" Brownie badge for Girl Scouts of America. Attend all of our Girl Scouts Love State Parks programming this weekend to complete the badge. This program will also be open to the public.
