Dig deep into the mysterious world of freshwater mussels. Travel by kayak from the shores of Four Rivers to where mussels dwell. Learn how to find them and just how beneficial they are to all the creatures that depend on our rivers. Participants will get in the water to look for mussels, so be sure to wear clothes that can get wet and shoes that will stay on your feet.
Fee: $20 per person.
Age: Ages 12 or older. (Children must be accompanied by a registered adult.)
This program will be at McKinley Woods – Kerry Sheridan Grove.
