Creatures of the Water

October 27 @ 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm

Join a naturalist as we learn about the strange yet interesting creatures that live in streams and wetlands. We will discuss several species of crayfish, fresh water mussels and the Hellbender, the largest species of salamander in Ohio. Learn why they are critical to local waterways and how they act as indicator species when something is going wrong.
