Members,
It’s that time of year again! Please join us to “Count the Bugs” in Rush creek!
We will collect and identify macro-invertebrates (aka ‘bugs’) living in the Weatherby Lake watershed, in Rush Creek. By identifying and counting these organisms, we can help determine the water quality in the Creek, which is the main tributary to Weatherby Lake. Some ‘bugs’ are sensitive to pollution, and some are not. Therefore, the results can be used as indicators of the water quality. This information is collected twice a year, and is submitted to the Missouri Dept. of Natural Resources.
If you would like to help, please meet us at the Amity Park parking lot at 3:00 pm, on Tuesday, October 11th. Wear rain boots, or shoes to walk in the water. In the case of rain, we will re-schedule. Feel free to call WLIC for more information.
