Will you find lost treasure in the pond?

Join us in using a muck net to scoop water from a pond and investigate what you find using a sieve, hand lens and nature viewers. Find out if the pond is healthy or unhealthy. Also, study a muskrat to discover why they live in a pond habitat. This event is for ages 7 to 10.

Water-proof garden boots are recommended but not required. Meet in the first parking lot.
