FAMILY CREEK STOMP

A Pollinator BioBlitz is an event where participants come together to observe, identify and document various pollinators in a specific area over a short period of time. During our Pollinator BioBlitz, participants will work to spot as many different pollinator species as they can, using tools like cameras, field guides or apps (such as iNaturalist) to document their findings. One registration per individual.

Get ready for a splashin’ good time at Flowing Well’s Cool Creek! Perfect for families of all ages, this program offers the chance to get your feet wet, discover hidden aquatic creatures and connect with nature in a fun and interactive way. As we stomp through the creek, we’ll search for fish, frogs, insects and other critters that call the water home. You’ll also learn about the important role creeks and streams play in our local ecosystem and how to protect these precious habitats.

Bring your family, get your feet muddy and experience nature up close in a way that only a creek stomp can offer! One registration per individual.
