Description:
The 2017 Wildwood Park Summer Nature Series featuring the free program "The Aquatic Inhabitants of Connelly's Run" on Thursday, June 22, 2017 at Wildwood Park in Radford, VA.

We will examine the biodiversity and stream quality of Connelly’s Run, which runs through the park. After learning about the “how” and “why” of stream surveys, aquatic critters (“bioindicators”) collected earlier in the day from the stream will be available for hands-on sorting and easy-ID by participants willing to learn a little and get their hands wet!

The program will be led by Karen Powers of the Radford University Biology Department.

Join us in a marvelous natural setting at twilight for these free bi-weekly, family-friendly multi-media presentations by local naturalists starting in June and continuing through August.

Park at the Main Entrance to Wildwood Park at Main / Grove or the Sundell / Park Road lot. It is a 5-minute walk to the classroom in the center of the park.

In case of rain, the lecture will move to the Radford Recreation Center. An announcement will be made by 6 pm the day of the lecture at the following website: https://sites.google.com/a/rcps.org/summer-lecture-series/.
