(Chelsea Update would like to thank Kathy Claflin for the information in this story and the Waterloo Natural History Association for sponsoring this program.)
On Feb. 19 from 2-3 p.m. at the Eddy Discovery Center, learn from Master Naturalist Doug Jackson about the wonders of our enchanted woodland pools.
The program “Vernal Pool Patrol” looks at frozen frogs to floating fairies and fragile fingernail clams. Learn about the fascinating creatures that inhabit these pools and find out how you can participate in a statewide program collecting data about them. Your data will help to protect these often overlooked, yet delicate and important, ecosystems referred to as the coral reefs of the Midwest.
Eddy Discovery Center, 17030 Bush Road in the Waterloo Recreation Area near Chelsea. Register for this program at 734-475-3170. Free admission.
