What's Bugging Gore Creek? Scientists are telling us that something is bugging Gore Creek. But actually, it's what is not bugging the creek that's the problem. Join ERWC to learn about problems in Gore Creek - signaled by the lack of a robust colony of bugs (macroinvertebrates) starting in the East Vail area. These bugs are food for the creek's fish. Do missing bugs mean missing fish? Do missing bugs mean that the creek is unhealthy?
Chris Maines from the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District will talk about what studies are telling us. Kirby Wynn, head of ERWC's Water Quality Program, will join Chris as they discuss possible causes for the problem - and the community partnership that's taking shape to help solve this mystery. A healthy Gore Creek is essential to the economy of Vail and of Eagle County. Public input is invited as we work together to develop a Water Quality Improvement Plan to cure Gore Creek.
