Who lives under the rocks in the creeks and streams that run through our parks and backyards—and what can they tell us about water quality and ecosystem health?
Join CSI at Six Mile Creek as we explore aquatic life found under the rocks near the Plain Street bridge. This family-friendly, hands-on program invites participants to wade into the stream in search of benthic macroinvertebrates—small, spineless organisms visible without a microscope that live at the bottom of the creek. We will collect and identify these organisms and learn how they are used to assess water quality and overall ecosystem health. Participants interested in following scientific protocols will also have the opportunity to assist in collecting an official sample after the main program has concluded.
This 1.5-hour program takes place entirely outdoors along Six Mile Creek in downtown Ithaca. The experience is highly hands-on and involves wading into shallow stream areas to collect and examine aquatic organisms. Caregivers must be able and willing to enter the creek alongside their child and actively participate in the in-stream portion of the program.

When you turn on your shower or fill a glass of water, have you ever wondered where that water comes from—and what happens before it reaches your home?
For many residents in the Towns of Dryden, Ithaca, and Lansing, as well as the Villages of Cayuga Heights and Lansing, drinking water is drawn from Cayuga Lake and treated at the Southern Cayuga Lake Intermunicipal Water Commission along the lake’s east shore. Join CSI for a guided tour of this facility to learn how water is collected from the lake, treated to meet drinking water standards, and distributed to homes and businesses across the region.
This 2-hour program includes a guided tour of the Plant. Participants will explore how drinking water is sourced, treated, and distributed through a combination of on-site observation, explanation, and discussion. The experience includes only indoor components and is primarily tour-based, with opportunities for questions and engagement throughout.
