Organizer

Three Rivers Waterkeeper and BCMAC

Have you ever wondered if the colors around us are more than just pretty? Join us as we venture into Beaver’s waterways to explore riparian pigments and what they can tell us about water quality. We will use art-based research methods to understand abstract scientific concepts by making paintings out of the surrounding colored materials such as leaves, bark, and rocks. Artistic skills or research experience are not required, only an open mind and clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty. Bring a chair if you would prefer not to sit on the ground, and feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns.

We will also hear from our partner, Beaver County Marcellus Awareness Community, about how you can get involved in Beaver County to protect our environment!

Park in the lower parking lot at 40.813135, -80.325933 right off of Route 18, a few hundred yards off I-76. We will make an easy five minute hike from the parking lot to Buttermilk Falls.
