Come to Stroud Water Research Center to enjoy the magic of the stream and forest in winter; though the trees are lying dormant, there is still a lot to explore! At Winter Stream Camp, campers will investigate the stream in its icy state and discover what critters might be hiding inside, look for birds that have stayed for the winter, and hunt for animal tracks along the streamside habitat.
Participants will receive an overview of stream ecology and watershed concepts based on research done at the Stroud Center. Taking our boots to the stream, we’ll experience hands-on examination of leaf packs with live aquatic macroinvertebrates, including their identification, and take a look at the Leaf Pack Network® website.

Spend the day with us at Tonquish Creek, a small tributary of the Rouge River Watershed. You’ll touch slimy leaves and rocks, learning about Leaf Pack methods and how aquatic macroinvertebrates tell us the story about stream health.
