Stream Monitoring
Volunteers help monitor water quality in our streams and rivers by collecting
and identifying aquatic macro-invertebrates. It’s a fun activity for families, educators
or individuals.
Monitoring generally takes place in the spring and fall. Additional dates may be added
as educational events, where we welcome volunteers to teach alongside staff.
Interested in learning more? Details of these events are posted on our Stream
Trails and Gardens
Missaukee Conservation District maintains a trail system and native plant
demonstration gardens at our Lake City headquarters. We are always in need of
gardeners to help maintain these features. We are also currently seeking grants
to refurbish several garden areas and add educational components throughout
the trail system.
