Frogs, crawdads, and children, oh my! In our 'CSI' program the interpretive rangers invite kids and adults to get in and get wet as they look for macroinvertebrates and other stream critters. We may even find fish and salamanders as well. This program is conducted in accordance with Virginia law; park staff possess the proper permits and training to collect and briefly handle certain aquatic wildlife.
