Discovery Day 2003
The Big Spring Watershed Association Inc. has an on stream educational, scientific, and fun day on Big Spring Creek once a year. This day is called Discovery Day because we hope the people attending discover something unique about this stream and its biological communities. There is a great amount of community involvement from people who live in the area, including organizations and other conservation groups. Please take a tour with us from the photos from April 5, 2003 Discovery Day.
