Description

Get your feet wet as you learn about the life within our backyard creeks! The Lancaster County Conservation District will be leading a ‘stomp’ in the Little Chiques to discover the life within our backyard creeks. Participants will learn how the fish and insects within a waterway can indicate the overall health of the creek. A hands-on experience where participants are encouraged to get their hands and feet wet to learn more about their local environments. Please wear clothing and shoes that can get wet if participating in the stomp. Tours will also be offered for the park’s wildflower meadow. Participant SafetyParticipants are required to wear masks/face coverings and maintain a social distance of 6 feet from other participants, but it should be noted that the Lancaster Conservancy and its partners are not responsible for the behavior of participants regarding those requirements. Participants under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all time. All participants will be required to sign a waiver when they arrive at the event. Weather PolicyIf the event must be cancelled due to weather or other circumstances, we will post that information on the CCWA website and registrants will ne notified. What is Lancaster Water Week?Leading the way to clean water by protecting over 7,000 acres of wild lands, the Lancaster Conservancy created Lancaster Water Week to connect us all to clean water. We need clean water to fish, swim and drink, but over half of Lancaster’s 1,400 miles of streams and rivers are polluted. The good news? We can solve this problem together! Lancaster Water Week returns for its 5th year with over 20 events that CELEBRATE our unique waterways and EDUCATE our community to TAKE ACTION for cleaner streams and rivers!
