Explore Mastuxet Brook, a tributary of a Wild and Scenic River, with podcast host Hugh Markey and Lauren Bonatakis, the Wood Pawcatuck Wild and Scenic Rivers National Park Service Representative, as they search for dragonfly nymphs. Lauren shares her expertise in stream ecology and explains why monitoring our streams for water quantity and quality is so important.


In this episode, we discover the incredible “superpower” of dragonfly nymphs, their ability to help detect mercury in our waterways. This is the first year that the Stewardship Council has collected dragonfly nymphs for sampling and contributing to the Dragonfly Mercury Project.
