Description
Interested in becoming a citizen scientist and improving your nature identification skills with park staff? We've got the opportunity for you! Harris Lake County Park is an ecoEXPLORE HotSpot which means it's a place where you can make observations of plants and animals and share them with scientists!
Our focus for today's program will be on ichthyology! Come learn about the fish species we have at the park and try your hand at fishing to catch and view them up close! If you are new to ecoEXPLORE, please create a profile at https://www.ecoexplore.net/signup prior to the program. Meet at the Fishing Pond (first gravel lot on your right after you enter) and bring your device for taking photos and capturing data. You are welcome to bring your own bait and fishing poles, but we will also have some available for you to use. For ages 10 and up, must be registered with an adult. Space is limited!Children must be accompanied by an adult and all participants (children and adults) must be registered in advance through our online system.
