SUMMARY:Watering Manayunk: Some Parks\, a Canal\, and a Tank
DESCRIPTION:Watering Manayunk: Some Parks\, a Canal\, and a Tank\nIn partnership with the Fairmount Park Conservancy and Love Your Park Week\, the Fairmount Water Works is offering this special tour! \nThis special park tour has two parts. Do just the first hour\, or both. \nWe’ll visit the new Venice Island Recreation Center with its green-\nroofed stormwater tank\, river-themed art\, and beautiful spray park. See the intact Lock 69 at the outlet of the Manayunk Canal\, which was built in 1819 when Manayunk was barely a settlement\, and the towpath linear park. \nIn the second hour we’ll walk uphill to the new Cynwyd Trail\, just opened in 2015 atop the Manayunk Railroad Bridge\, for a spectacular view of the canal and river. How did the canal take us almost 200 years later to the need for a stormwater tank? Hear the story from Manayunk resident Sandy Sorlien\, a watershed educator and expert in the Schuylkill Navigation system. Optional: stick around for lunch or shopping on Main Street\, or view the peregrine falcons of Pretzel Park. \nPart I has about a mile of easy walking; add 2 miles round-trip for Part II. \nParking: lot at Venice Island \nTrain: SEPTA Norristown line to Manayunk Station \nThis is a FREE tour\, but registration is required.

SUMMARY:Science Saturday – "A Day in the Life of the Schuylkill River: The Exploration Continues"
DESCRIPTION:Spring is a time when life in the stream comes alive. Macroinvertebrates are organisms that are big enough for you to see with the bare eye\, but without backbones. Mayflies\, water pennies\, caddisflies\, and stoneflies…scientists use these freshwater creatures as natural indicators of river health.  In our water lab\, act like a scientist to inspect and characterize your own virtual river sample. Do they have legs or shells? Are they “shredders”\, “grazers”\, or “collectors”? Learn all about these creatures during this family-friendly program.

On the main floor of the FWW\, and learn about her contributions to launching the modern environmental movement\, in particular with a copy of Silent Spring\, the book that awakened the concern of Americans for the environment. \nAbout Rachel Carson \n\nBorn May 27\, 1907\, in Springdale\, PA.\nWorld renowned marine biologist\, author\, and environmentalist.\nServed as editor-in-chief for the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.\nBest known for her fourth book\, Silent Spring\, which alerted the world to the environmental impact of fertilizers and pesticides and has been credited with launching the contemporary environmental movement and awakening the concern of Americans for the environment.\nAppointed a junior aquatic biologist with the Bureau of Fisheries and became one of only two women then employed with the Bureau at a professional level (1936).\nTestified before a Congressional committee after the federal government ordered a complete review of its pesticide policy.  As a direct result\, DDT was banned (1963).\nThe Fish & Wildlife Service named one of its refuges near Carson’s summer home on the coast of Maine as the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge to honor the memory of this extraordinary woman (1969).\nRemembered as an early activist who worked to preserve the world for future generations.\n\nTake a selfie with this environmental she-ro\, and share it on Facebook\, Twitter\, and Instagram\, using the hashtag #FWWDiscover.

SUMMARY:Science Saturday – "A Day in the Life of the Schuylkill River: The Exploration Continues"
DESCRIPTION:Spring is a time when life in the stream comes alive. Macroinvertebrates are organisms that are big enough for you to see with the bare eye\, but without backbones. Mayflies\, water pennies\, caddisflies\, and stoneflies…scientists use these freshwater creatures as natural indicators of river health.  In our water lab\, act like a scientist to inspect and characterize your own virtual river sample. Do they have legs or shells? Are they “shredders”\, “grazers”\, or “collectors”? Learn all about these creatures during this family-friendly program.

SUMMARY:Science Saturday – "What's for Lunch?"
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that we have river otters right here in the Schuylkill River? Come and learn about some of the amazing animals that not only chooses to call Philadelphia home\, but also how they form relationships between other animals and form food webs! In our lab\, we will be creating food webs to show how every organism plays a role in the ecosystem\, ranging from the smallest algae to massive birds of prey! Visitors of all ages can learn more about the delicate balance that is required to maintain a food web\, and how the addition or removal of a species can disrupt the entire system!
