Pond Investigation with the HABLAB
June 13 • 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
Join us for an in-depth look at life in the pond at the Van Scott Nature Reserve! We’ll begin by exploring why ponds are tested for harmful algal blooms (HABs), with the help of the HABLAB from the Lake Wallenpaupack Watershed Management District. Then, you’ll learn how to test the water yourself by investigating both the pond water and sediment for macroinvertebrates. Using your findings, we’ll determine the overall quality of the pond.
This program is $5 for Conservancy members or $10 for non-members; kids 12 and under are free. Advance registration is requested and children must be accompanied by an adult to attend.
