Learning What Lives in the Creek

 One of the stops on the conservation tour sponsored by the Howard County Soil and Water Conservation District involved looking for macro invertebrates (bugs in the creek). The tour was held at the Shane Campbell farm September 21. Before venturing into the water or the water’s edge, participants looked at pictures of what they might find.
