Meet at Cleveland Public Library's newly restored, updated, and expanded South Branch for a short presentation followed by a narrated tour to Memphis Picnic Area in Cleveland Metroparks’ Big Creek Reservation. Big Creek, running through the west side of Cleveland, is a major tributary to the Cuyahoga River.

In the park we’ll collect water samples and measure and compare the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of the East and West branches of Big Creek with professionals involved in watershed stewardship.

Bring rubber boots if you have them and be ready to get your feet wet (only if you choose). Have fun as citizen scientists!

The 3-hour program includes lunch in the park (pizza and salad) before returning to the library. The program is free but registration is required, as space is limited.
Minors must be accompanied by an adult.
