EVENTS CALENDAR
Stream Stomp at Trout Run Nature Preserve
Sunday, May 23
2:00 pm - 3:30 pm
Get ready to get wet! Join us at Trout Run Nature Preserve as Lisa J. Sanchez leads us in a stream study. Wear shoes that can be worn in the water, because we will be getting in! We will catch and release the critters living in the stream. These insects will tell us about the water quality of the stream and you will also learn about their life cycles. Space is limited. Please call 392-7891 to register.
Directions to Trout Run:
We will meet in the parking lot on Stump Road. From Lancaster City, take PA Route 272 South, (Willow Street Pike/Lancaster Pike), toward Willow Street. Continue South on PA Route 272 to Smithville. Turn right on Pennsy Road (just past Frey’s Evergreen Plantation on the left and before the large stone arch railroad bridge over the highway). Follow Pennsy Road for approximately one mile, then turn left on Kreider Road. At the stop sign, proceed straight, crossing over a bridge spanning the old low grade rail line. At the next intersection, bear right on Rawlinsville Road. Follow Rawlinsville Road for approximately one mile, then turn right at the fork on to Stump Road. Follow Stump Road for approximately one and a quarter miles. The lot will be on your left and is well marked.
