The program will be held at the Land Trust’s Rodman Slough Preserve Nature Education Center at the corner of Westlake Drive and the Nice-Lucerne Cutoff, off of Highway 29 between Lakeport and Upper Lake. The public is invited to attend.
Representatives of the Lake County Vector Control District will be presenting the program. Two of the agency’s biologists, Bonnie Ryan and Brittany Mills, along with Jamesina J. Scott, PhD, District Manager and Research Director for the Lake County Vector Control District will be on hand to present the program: “What’s Swimming With Me?”
They will cover insects (adult and immature), water mites, leeches, snails, aquatic earthworms, arthropods, visible zooplankton and even give a small discussion on swimmers itch.
The biologists will bring samples of the creatures with them and offer a fascinating look at the animals that live in Clear Lake and local streams and ponds. “Many of these tiny and fascinating invertebrates you probably have never seen, and will be surprised that they are in the water all around you,” commented a Land Trust spokesperson.
The Lake County Land Trust owns and operates the Rodman Slough Preserve and Nature Education Center, offering walks at the preserve every Saturday and special educational programs at the Nature Center on a quarterly basis.
