Creekwatcher Currents: September 2017

Good morning, Creekwatchers! We're transitioning to autumn and winding down the season now, which means that chlorophyll a sampling will conclude at the end of the month (SP 14 is the final chlorophyll a sampling period of the season).

Also, we'll slow down a bit this month to catch up and enjoy some tasty eats at the End of Summer Picnic on September 23.

Lastly, looking ahead, please change your calendars; our End of Season Potluck at Trap Pond State Park will be held on Thursday, November 9 instead of Friday, November 10.

Thanks, and Happy Creekwatching!
