Event Description

The forest canopy dramatically changes throughout the month of November, as the last of the leaves fall to the ground. While many of us may greet this change with rakes and leaf blowers, the incredible diversity of organisms that live in streams greet it with forks and knives!


Join Naturalist Educator Stephen Bucklin on a hike to learn about aquatic invertebrates and the relationships they have with trees. We'll spend our time turning over rocks, looking for different organisms, and discussing their adaptations.


Registration is required. While this is an all-ages event, it is intended for teenagers and adults. We recommend teenagers attend with a friend, parent, or guardian.


This hike is rain or shine. Weather-appropriate clothes and footwear with good tread are encouraged. Participants should expect to walk between one and two miles at a leisurely pace. Hike will meet at the Frick Environmental Center.


 


The nearest bus stop is the 61A or 61B at Forbes and Dallas - From the bus stop to the Environmental Center involves an uphill and a stretch with no sidewalk.
