Euce of Tewls

Dr. Lenny and the Bug Lady are headed up the North Umpqua for the sixth annual macro-invertebrate collection event. Our tools are buckets, brushes and nets - the game will be to see how the stonefly, mayfly and caddisfly populations are affected by fire. The 2002 Apple Fire burned a portion of Limpy Creek right over the water on both sides, while Calf Creek - a mile and a half away remained undisturbed. We hope to have Amy join us - she was there for the first collection as a high school junior and recently graduated with a biology degree. What a neat spin howdt derivative of life. A true joy is getting to remeet old friends.
