Follow a Raindrop and Explore Living Water in Scarborough

Scarborough Land Trust and Friends of Scarborough Marsh are celebrating WATER!

SLT will be hosting a summer series for families and children in collaboration with FOSM. Each week will take a close look at water and its important role in the environment. Each session will be 2 hours long, starting at 3 PM and concluding at 5 PM.

Session 1 – Freshwater (Wednesday, August 10)

We will begin the series with a trip to Broadturn Farm where participants can explore streams with dip nets and magnifying glasses. Here we will look for macroinvertebrates, check out the clay stream sediment, and turn over rocks to see salamanders.

Please Bring:

• Clothes and shoes you don’t mind getting wet
• Layers- for temperature, rain, and tick coverage
• Insect repellent
• Sunscreen
• Snacks and water

Activities include science as well as book readings, crafts, and games.

Along the way, we will be using a refractometer to measure the salinity of the water at each location.

Cost: FREE

Recommended Age: 8 years and older (All children must be accompanied by an adult).
