About this Event

Have you ever wondered what lives in your local pond? Beyond fish and the occasional alligator, macroinvertbrates are the main residents. These small, spineless animals are an important part of the food chain and often serve as indicators of water quality. Join Extension staff as we go on a dipnetting excursion to collect, identify, and document some of the macroinvertebrates in our ponds at Twin Lakes Park.

Before heading out in search of macroinvertebraes, we will begin our morning enjoying coffee, pastries, and a casual presentation about the critters we may encounter.

Participants should wear close-toed shoes and weather-appropriate gear. Sunscreen, bug spray, and a water bottle are also recommended.

Instructors:

  • Jackie Lebouitz, UF/IFAS Extension Sarasota County, Chemicals in the Environment Agent
  • Michael D'Imperio, UF/IFAS Extension Sarasota County, Water Resources

Time: 10:00 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. Coffee and donuts will be provided.

Advance registration is required. Please register for this event ONLY at ufsarasotaext.eventbrite.com rather than any third-party websites, as they are not affiliated with our classes and events.

For more information, contact Jackie Lebouitz at [email protected].

NOTE: Classes and events may be canceled at any time due to low registration or other circumstances, with full refunds issued for paid events. Similar classes or events often are offered on future dates.
