Event details

Celebrate National Public Lands Day with a little bit of science and a lot of wet, soggy fun!Join us on Public Lands Day for a unique citizen science project. A little bit of work, and a lot of wet, soggy fun, can help us better care for the water resources at YOUR State Park! First we'll use simple test kits to measure water quality. Then we'll wade into the creek and use nets to catch and get €œup close and personal€ with creek creatures. Be prepared to get wet & muddy! Wear old clothes and old shoes (please no bare feet in the creek, in case of sharp objects). This will be an official Tennessee Serves/National Public Lands Day event, and a part of an international effort called the EarthEcho Water Challenge. Through EarthEcho, we'll join a network of citizens from more than 140 countries, and become part of the solution for clean water and healthy waterways worldwide.Meet at the big parking lot uphill from Park Headquarters (former pool parking lot), and we'll carpool/caravan to the creek.
