Purchase ticketsFloating Classroom 06/11/24: Snails on the Susquehanna
$0.00 - $10.00
Only a few left! Penn State University professor of biology Dr. Edward Levri and some of his students will offer a program looking at freshwater snails of the Susquehanna River Basin, focusing mainly on the invasive New Zealand mud snail. Two different snail-related programs will be offered at the same time (one on each level) and participants will rotate halfway through the cruise to get to see both sessions. Program runs from 10-11 a.m. Learn more about the New Zealand mud snail ahead of the program here. |
