Cassie came to the Earth Day Celebration held on Sunday, April 18 at the PPL Wallenpaupack Environmental Learning Center just to see what algae look like. “They’re squiggly creatures that look harmless,” she said as she looked through a microscope at the center’s state-of-the-art biology lab. “Besides, people who swim in the lake can get sick if there are a lot of them,” she said. Cassie was happy to hear that a lot was being done to keep algae levels low. | |||||
