Please note you are looking at an event that has already happened.
Come learn about the importance of our local freshwater streams and the critters that call them home! Presenters from Woodcock Nature Center and the Ridgefield Conservation Commission will talk about stream ecology and health, as well as share what the Conservation Commission is doing to monitor these habitats in our local preserves.
Woodcock and the RCC have been collaborating to lead guided walks at local preserves, and an upcoming walk on March 2nd will offer a chance to take the knowledge gained from this presentation a step further by exploring a freshwater stream and discovering its inhabitants first-hand.
