Bike With Your Boots On- River des Peres Greenway

DateTime: 
05/22/2011 - 1:00pm - 4:00pm

 

Come join the River des Peres Watershed Coalition in our first Bike With Your Boots On bike ride/water quality monitoring event along the River des Peres greenway. The symbiosis of trail and stream presents a unique opportunity for cyclists to observe the stream from the trail and from streamside as we test the water chemistry and look at what is living in the River des Peres. For this event we will take macroinvertebrate samples at our stating and ending points on the trail, as well as conducting water quality monitoring (water temperature, pH, turbidity, and other readings) along the River des Peres and its tributaries. The River des Peres Greenway trail is accessible from the Shrewsbury Metrolink Station, we will meet at the Shrewsbury Metrolink station at 12:30 PM. All participants must wear helmets! At the end of the event we will provide hot dogs, burgers and chips! For route information, contact Theodore Smith at 314-640-2429. Space is limited, so please register on-line at: www.riverdesperes.org
