Bugs in the Creek
July 31 or August 24, 2019
Join the Cache Creek Conservancy education staff for two hours of family fun investigating the waters of Cache Creek for aquatic macroinvertebrates!
9 am - 11 am
Meet at the pavilion at Capay Open Space Park (near north parking lot) at 9 a.m. for an introduction to factors that make a healthy waterway. The group will then walk to the shores of Cache Creek and children of all ages will get knee-deep in the creek to search for bugs and fish! An Investigation Station will be available for an up-close look at the macroinvertebrates. Participants will identify and learn key facts about each species which will help them to assess the health of Cache Creek.
Bring a towel, extra clothes, or picnic lunch to continue to enjoy Capay Open Space Park after the program!
Location: Capay Open Space Park, 15603 County Road 85, Esparto
