Field Trip: Rock Creek Aquatic Invertebrates
Western Montana MTREGISTRATION OPEN
NEAREST TOWN: CLINTON | DIFFICULTY: EASY
Join us for a hands-on learning experience in the Sapphire Mountains along Rock Creek. We'll take a short walk to the creek’s riffles, where we'll use kick nets to reveal the underwater life of aquatic invertebrates. Participants will utilize the tools of the aquatic entomologist to see the critters that make this a blue ribbon trout stream. After collecting, observing, and releasing the critters back to their home water, we'll discuss what makes Rock Creek a climate refuge and how the surrounding wilderness areas foster connectivity on land and by water.
