On Wednesday, August 18th from 6 – 7 PM, families can experience the final Wetland Wanderings program organized by Friends of the St. Clair River. The free outdoor exploration program will be at the Blue Water River Walk County Park at 2200 Military Street in Port Huron.
This educational program will focus on macroinvertebrates, small aquatic insects that can be found in the mud of wetland areas. Macroinvertebrates are important to the ecosystem in wetlands, and they improve the quality of the water.
Melissa Kivel, Restoration Coordinator, will help participants search for the insects, sort them, and identify them. This activity will help assign a water quality score to the area and determine the health of the park.
Registration is required for this free event at www.scriver.org, and free parking is available at the Seaway Terminal lot located near the wetland area of the park.
