Discover what critters lie below the surface of the LMR. We will be learning about macroinvertebrates-critters, without backbones, which are large enough to be seen with the unaided eye. Using a net placed downstream, we will catch critters living on the rocks and in the sediments on the bottom of the River. Caught critters will be sorted, identified, and evaluated to determine the water quality of the River. Be prepared to get into the river and get feet wet. Shoes or boots are required to avoid injury. After we are done, the critters will be returned to the River.
This is a basic introduction to canoeing. Participants will learn how to select the proper equipment, how to maneuver the canoe with different strokes, and what other supplies and equipment you need to take with you. An onshore class where participants learn canoeing basics will precede a practice session in a pool area of the Little Miami River. Then participants will return then return boats to the shore where they launched. Participants may get wet and muddy so plan accordingly. Restrooms are available to change afterward.| © Cincinnati Great Outdoor Weekend e-mail | phone: (513) 684-9061 |
