For our annual Spring program, we present...
"Testing the Waters"
May 21, 2009
7:30PM in the Parish Hall at the
Congregational Church, Killingworth
Join us as Mike Beauchene discusses how the
Connecticut Department of Environmental
Protection monitors our ambient water quality and
what you can do to help as an RBV (Rapid Bioassessment Volunteer). RBV enables citizens to collect and interpret water quality data. The program focuses on the community of invertebrate critters – most of them insects – that live in streams. Which critters you find indicates the quality of the water. It’s a fun way to spend family time while doing good science that’s good for our Town and good for the environment. What a great way to welcome Spring!
Please join us at this event. It's free, open to the public (Bring your kids! Bring your parents!), and, as always, we'll have refreshments to share.
