Colors of the River at Powdermill

Educational Science

What’s Happening?

When: Sunday, October 13, 2024, 1 p.m. – 2:30 p.m.

Where: Powdermill Nature Reserve Visitor’s Center

Pay What You Wish

Have you ever wondered if the colors around us are more than just pretty? Join us as we venture into Southwestern Pennsylvania’s waterways to explore pigments, riparian ecology, 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.

Event led by Three Rivers Waterkeeper’s Sierra Weir (she/they)
