    Salem Creek Stomp & Volunteering Information Event

    10:00 am-12:00 pm (noon)

    Join Gateway Nature Preserve and come splash in Salem Creek with family and friends before the summer is over. Adults must accompany minor children. We will explore the “beach” area at the preserve, learning about common plants that grow in stream banks and scavenging for creek critters. We will also conduct simple water quality tests and classify creek critters to investigate the health of our creek. Please dress for the weather, wear boots or closed-toe shoes that can get wet and prepare for a great time!

    Participants will also learn about exciting projects that are underway at Gateway and how to get involved by joining our growing network.

    Meet at the Family Services Forsyth County lot at 1200 S. Broad St a little before 10 am on Saturday, August 22.
