The search is on! Each fall, PRWC joins the statewide search for macroinvertebrates, or “river bugs,” that live in freshwater streams. Join our staff to explore local streams, search for and identify these fascinating creatures, and learn what they reveal about stream health.
Adults and children over age 10 (with an adult) are invited to participate, no experience needed!

Join us at Woodbury Brewing Co. for a wickedly fun night of music, costumes, and community, all while supporting the rivers and streams that make our watershed such a special place to live.
Enjoy live music by Brother Other, tasty munchies, a cash bar, a penny auction, and a costume contest with prizes in four frighteningly fun categories.
Costumes are optional, but highly encouraged!
