Stream Monitoring

Volunteers help monitor water quality in our streams and rivers by collecting and identifying aquatic macroinvertebrates. It’s a fun activity for families, educators, or individuals.

Monitoring generally takes place in the spring and fall. Training is provided for volunteers to increase their knowledge and play leadership roles in this event.
