Explore Our Waters

Greetings! Come explore Como Lake from a view you may have not seen before! Elder Tammy Villegas will give us a fish eye view on what they are doing, who they are hanging out with and who they are trying to stay away from! We will also look at their habitat and see what we can do to help them flourish. We will journal our findings and have a seasonal chart of what to look for in our underwater relatives. Of course, we will have time to do some fishing too. Please meet by the Pavilion.
