Description

Did you know that aquatic bugs (aka macroinvertebrates) can tell us about the water quality of our creeks and rivers? They may not have backbones, but these critters can be quite resilient and can tell us a lot about the health of our streams!

 

Come to Bushkill Meeting Center to see some of the magnificent macroinvertebrates that live in Dingmans Creek.

 

Our rangers will be on site from 10:00 pm to 3:00 pm to present live bugs and answer questions for visitors
