Event Description:

Water isn't just fun to play in, it can also tell you a lot about our environment. Join MetroParks and Butler Soil and Water Conservation District for our fourth summer creek exploration! We'll find out about our watershed and the creatures that call Dry Fork Creek home. We'll supply everything you need to explore the water, the creek's fossils and aquatic wildlife.

Task:

Volunteers will support staff in the transporting of creeking supplies, helping keep the group together, and interacting with program participants. 

No prior experience is required, knowledge of native plants, animals, insects, and minerals is a plus
