Stream Explorers

$2 per person (free for Friends of Phinizy)

Become an aquatic ecologist for a day!
Aquatic Food Web
This is a fun family exploration as you join our scientists in the creek (waders provided) and in the laboratory as you learn some of the methods that we use to determine the condition of our lakes and streams. You will use different techniques to sample and analyze for organic material, algae, zooplankton, aquatic insects, and fish to understand how each of those organisms plays a role in a healthy food web. Using the data that you collect, you will determine if the ecosystem has all of the components, in the correct amount, to be considered a healthy ecosystem. Please wear long socks & bring water to drink. No dogs or strollers, please. We leave from the Swamp Shop & Visitor’s Center at 9:30AM.
Ages 8+ only. Spaces are limited. For more information, please call (706) 396-1426. Register online below.
*Groups, clubs or organizations please ask about Group Tours.*
