Community Water Monitoring and Ecology Walk

Description

Community Water Monitoring and Ecology Walk
Join Grasse River Heritage for their July Walk in the Park event, a water monitoring and ecology walk at Heritage Park with Nature Up North! Walk the Heritage Park loop and talk about the ecology of the Grasse River, who lives in the river and even in the park itself! Work together to collect data for Nature Up North's citizen science project, MOW the Grasse. Collect physical observations, (temperature, turbidity and dissolved oxygen), chemical observations (nitrogen, phosphorus, and pH levels) and biological observations (macroinvertebrate and bacteria). Event organizers recommend wearing shoes that you don't mind getting a bit wet while collecting water samples. All supplies will be provided.

This event is free and perfect for most ages. Youth under 13 must be accompanied by an adult.
