    Description

    From our meeting point, we will begin our exploration of the insects and arthropods that inhabit the Riverside Woods Nature Reserve following the Goodyear Memorial ST down towards Rushing River ST where we’ll highlight the importance of aquatic invertebrates to the food web and how they act as critical bioindicators for environmental health. As we ascend back up to the Goodyear ST, we’ll pass through forests and meadows and loop back via the Upland ST where a variety of important arthropod habitats exist. By then you will have learned what a true bug is and how they differ from other insects! Mosquito repellent and/or mosquito net is recommended even though we want to find and see as many other insects as possible.
