Terrestrial Macroinvertebrate Adventure at South Burlington City Park

 

 

 
CWDD Operations Manager Janel Roberge and St. Michael's College Professor of Biology Declan McCabe, PhD traveled to City Park in South Burlington, VT on July 24, 2021 to lead a terrestrial macroinvertebrate hike with community scientists. A total of 18 participants of varying ages used equipment provided by the CWDD to catch some six- and eight-legged friends throughout the part. After the activity, participants got to use a microscope to examine their finds. The CWDD staff on hand helped participants identify their catches before releasing them. Dr. McCabe ended the activity with a discussion about invasive species and provided some tips about what the community scientists could do to help stop their spread.
