After School Program: Aquatic Habitats- Benthic Macroinvertebrates

Have you ever seen invertebrates in the water before? Do you know what their key role is in water? We will visit the Stony Brook to collect macroinvertebrates, identify them and learn about their importance in the aquatic ecosystem.

Watershed Educator, Vicky Allen will teach participants outside in the living laboratory of our 950-acre Watershed Reserve. Each class will offer hands-on activities, a hike, and take-home activities to reinforce the topics covered in the class. Participants should come prepared to learn, engage, and have fun! Students may be grouped together by ages 6-9 and ages 10-12 for age appropriate explorations of the material. 

Ages 6 -12. In-person program. Dress for the weather of the day. Masks and social distancing encouraged. Adults do not attend class, but are required to stay on the property during the program. Discount available for members.
