Stream Biosurvey
Taught by a real biologist, join us for this fun, educational program at Starr Ranch to investigate and answer questions about the aquatic environment and some of the organisms that live under and on the surface of the water. This program introduces groups to the concept that streams are a mosaic of habitats (riffle and pool). In this version, participants use dip nets and underwater viewers to explore and make observations about the insects and other invertebrates living in these habitats. During our research version, we use the scientific method to make a more in-depth investigation of different creek habitats.
Special Note: Kids should dress to get wet. Shoes, shorts or pants will be wet in up to knee high water.
Limited Class Size: This program has a limited class size. Younger siblings under 7 yo may not attend unless class minimum is not met.
