Stroubles Creek flows through parts of Montgomery County, the town of Blacksburg, and Virginia Tech's campus. At roughly 12 miles long, this stream passes through notable landmarks such as Main Street, the Drillfield, and the Duck Pond. Interestingly, the portion along the Drillfield has been piped underground, and many people are unaware that there is flowing water beneath their feet! Stroubles Creek plays a crucial role at Virginia Tech by providing essential freshwater and supporting biodiversity within the ecosystem. Learn more about how VT’s Site and Infrastructure and the Office of Sustainability are collaborating to promote awareness about Stroubles Creek, its health, and the impacts it has on our community. Part of the presentation will include information on a brand new streamkeepers program created to monitor an inlet of the creek that flows from West Campus Drive to the Duck Pond. Our speakers include VT MS4 Coordinator Katelyn Muldoon and VT Office of Sustainability interns: Rose Harvey, Leilani Hyatt, Peyton Penland, and Hannah Worthy.

Held in the Blacksburg Community Room at the Blacksburg Library, 200 Miller St SW, Blacksburg. To join virtually please register
