“YEG’s first camping trip of the Season"

with

Dr. David Adamski

At this park we have an opportunity to see some neat salamanders and other animals that are found in rotten logs. Yes, we will be dissecting logs. And on a night hike many of the animals will be seen walking through the leaf litter. We may also be able to call in an owl from the deep forest. Dr. Adamski will be setting up his blacklight to see what organisms are flying in the early Spring.  In the morning after a light breakfast our YEGers will check out the aquatic organisms found in the park’s only mountain stream. Those going into the river should wear protective closed toe footwear. We will collect many stone flies, mayflies and aquatic beetles, and other immature aquatic insects. We have also collected various fish every visit that we made to the river. We will be at the river until about noon. Bring warm clothing and rain gear. No collecting will be allowed in the park. We are expected out of our campsites by 10:00 AM on Sunday morning. Dr. Adamski will be camping in the Chinquapin Hill Campground at sites 21, 22, 23. Acquire your campsite on-line at Pennsylvania Department of Conservation. 

Please RSVP to Christina Factor if you plan to attend.
