Thanks to Mud Creek Environmental Learning Center to teach us about who lives in and around the Valatie Kill. We explored the creek at the old Ring’s Park, now part of Ann Formel’s property. Leanna let us hold an intact painted turtle shell, then provided nets to catch some of the inhabitants of the creek.
