River Critters
The Haw River Watch Project will host a “Finding River Critters†event on the Haw River in Bynum on September 8.
River Watch Project coordinator Cynthia Crossen will teach participants how to measure a stream’s water quality by identifying the number and type of water bugs and doing simple chemical tests.
The event is free and open to the public. Participants should bring waterproof boots or water shoes and be prepared to be in and around the river.
Participants will meet at the Bynum Beach parking lot, and the event will run from 10 a.m. to noon, weather permitting. For directions or for more information, contact Crossen at 967-2500 or riverwatch@hawriver.org.
