SUMMARY:Celebrating 75 Years: Ruth Patrick and Her Legacy Study of the Conestoga
DESCRIPTION:When: Thursday\, August 1\, 2024. Doors open at 6 p.m. for light refreshments. The lecture begins at 6:30 p.m.\n\n\n\nWhere: Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology\, Greiner Campus\, 599 Chesapeake Street\, Lancaster\, PA 17602.\n\n\n\nCost: Free\, thanks to our sponsor. Please RSVP so we can plan for refreshments.\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for a special lecture by Bern Sweeney\, Ph.D.\, celebrating Ruth Patrick\, Ph.D.\, and her groundbreaking study of the Conestoga River. Dr. Patrick and a team of scientists sampled 152 sites along the Conestoga in 1948. This was the first time a stream was studied so extensively\, and it helped shape how we study streams and rivers today. 2024 marks the 75th anniversary of the study’s publication in 1949.  \n\n\n\nConestoga historian Ben Webber will introduce Bern and set the stage for what happened in and around the Conestoga River before 1948. \n\n\n\nJust added! Join us before the lecture for a plein air artist’s experience along Conestoga Greenway.  \n\n\n\nBoth events are free. Please RSVP to the individual events. \n\n\n\nThis event has passed.
