Black Earth/Big River July 8, 2010

Crossing over the bridge and letting the River guide visitors through the natural habitats of the QC area, they will explore wetlands, woodlands, prairies and their own backyard. They can find out what lives in a rotting log, explore a huge oak tree---from the inside out, listen to the sounds of the marsh and the stories of the people who live on the River, come face-to-face with live Mississippi River fish in the 718-gallon aquarium, discover how invasive species are threatening local ecosystems and what you can do to preserve your watershed and more.
