Our friends with the Little Falls Watershed Alliance are hosting their semiannual “Creek Critters Blitz.” Participants will step into the creek, search for macroinvertebrates, and use ANS’s Creek Critters app to identify these critters and learn what they tell us about the health of the stream. This is a family-friendly event and registration is required.
