Dragons in our Watershed: A Field Survey of Laguna Dragonflies Natural History Outing with Kevin Munroe

On this fun-filled, day-long adventure we will travel around the Laguna de Santa Rosa Watershed together to explore different aquatic habitats and chase down dragonflies. One of the most bio-diverse ecosystems in Northern California, the Laguna de Santa Rosa is a dragonfly hotspot. We have a good chance of seeing at least a dozen species, and hopefully catching at least half of them! You’ll learn how safely catch, gently handle, and carefully release these brilliant, magical, vital members of our local foodweb. Meeting at the Laguna Environmental Center and carpooling from there, we’ll visit lakes, streams and wetlands to stalk and watch these fascinating eagles of the insect world. Appropriate for adults and children age 12 and up if accompanied by an adult.
