CANE HILL -- Historic Cane Hill will host "Creek Creatures" to help participants learn about life in an Ozarks stream.
Dustin Lynch, aquatic ecologist with the Arkansas Natural Heritage Commission, will be in Cane Hill on Aug. 13 to acquaint visitors with the fish, crawdads and other life that depends on Jordan Creek and the natural springs around Historic Cane Hill.
To participate, meet around 9:30 a.m. in the Habitat Visitors Center, 14327 S. Arkansas 45 in Cane Hill, to view some of the species that live there. Afterward, Lynch will speak about the abundance of aquatic life in Ozark streams. And finally, he will lead a stream snorkeling activity to find crayfish.
