The Bucks County Conservation District, Partnership for the Delaware Estuary and Pennsylvania DCNR's Bureau of State Parks invite you to attend a week-long summer workshop to explore the Delaware River Watershed. Through a mixture of classroom and field experiences, you will have an opportunity to learn the differences between urban and rural watersheds and compare the upper portions of the Delaware River with the mouth of Delaware Bay. You will also gain hands-on experience when you:
identify macroinvertebrates
implement "best management practices" to stem pollution
perform water-chemistry tests
sample fish populations
study wetland functions
take part in various other environmental activities
For more information on this event, which is affiliated with the Watershed Education program, please contact Cheryl Jackson at (800) 445-4935, extension 112, or CJackson@ DelawareEstuary.org. Otherwise, please register before attending a brief orientation on July 16 and a Watersheds 101 class on July 17. See you then!
