The changes that occur in the stream invertebrates are reflective of our human activities. Ryan Evans of the Kentucky Division of Water will discuss what types of aquatic invertebrates can be found in our area and some of the things that influence them. He will give a broad understanding of why clean water is important and what we can do to help contribute to healthy watersheds.

This free event will take place in the Library Community Room. Please register online or at the Library. For more information, contact Diane Dehoney at 352-2665×108 or diane@pspl.org.
