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 Monitoring page.
Trails and Gardens
Missaukee Conservation District maintains a trail system
and native plant demonstration garden at our office.
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.
Contact sara.huetteman@macd.org for more information.
