Flora and Fauna of Fishing Creek
Fishing Creek is famous for its trout. Our May program featured the Fishing Creek Sportsmen Association, a group responsible for raising and stocking most of those fish. But what else lives in the creek that feeds the trout and adds to the health of our watershed?
Join us on Monday, June 12th as we go creekside to learn about the “Flora and Fauna of Fishing Creek.” Our guests from Commonwealth University’s Watershed Ecology Center— Dr. Steven Rier from Bloomsburg and Dr. Steven Seiler from Lock Haven— will guide us in an up-close look at the food web of our local stream. We’ll learn about the microscopic critters that most of us never see and learn their importance to the health of our watershed.
We’ll meet at the pavilion in Kocher Park at 6:45 pm so the program can begin promptly at 7:00. Those who plan to walk down to the creek should wear sturdy, waterproof footgear and dress appropriately to protect themselves from ticks and mosquitos. Insect repellant is recommended! Because we’ll be on-site, and using microscopes for some of the observations, there will not be a Zoom option for this program. We hope you can join us.
