VSN Voyageur – 1 woman tracing 10 years of citizen science on 100 miles of the Kickapoo River
On Sunday, September 19th, the Valley Stewardship Network’s Water Quality Program Manager, Sarah Grainger—the “VSN Voyageur”—will embark on an 8-day paddling journey down the Kickapoo River in the name of science and education. This 100-river-mile journey from Ontario to Wauzeka/Steuben will trace 10 years of citizen based monitoring in the Kickapoo River Valley. Information collected by the VSN Voyageur will be combined with data from the past ten years in a Watershed Assessment Report to be published next year.
Help us celebrate the first day of the VSN Voyageur’s paddle!
Paddlers and non-paddlers are invited to join the “After Paddle BBQ (potluck)” at Campsite I at the Kickapoo Valley Reserve.
The BBQ will start @ 5pm. This is a potluck meal, so bring food, dishes, cutlery and chairs. Campsite I at the Kickapoo Valley Reserve is a walk-in campsite–expect a 50 yard hike along the old 131 trail. There will be a cart to help transport your supplies from the parking area to the campsite if needed.
How to get to Campsite I: From HWY 131 take County P west (the turn-off south of Rockton), drive down County P until it meets with the old 131 (now a trail); park here. Campsite I is a short walk (50 yards) south.
