One way that kids can connect to nature is by finding beauty through a camera lens. On the walk we will be photographing patterns in nature, animals and animal signs, and plants. We will also have time to reflect with nature. Bring your digital camera! Larry Wade, a local naturalist, will be our guide.

All are welcome! Registration is required. To register contact Erica at 952-358-2276 or esniegowski@ninemilecreek.org.

This two-day workshop is part of a new Stormwater U series focused on the special challenges of managing urban streams.  Topics will focus on stream form and functions, recognizing degraded sites and determining the causes of the degradation, identifying possible solutions, monitoring and maintaining project sites, and understanding project designs and construction. The format will be a combination of classroom and field study, and in the evening we will take a tour on the Mississippi River.  Attendees of this workshop will qualify for 17 personal development hours (PDHs).
