Macroinvertebrate Sampling (at DeGraaf NC)

Thursday May 7

Other dates...

8:30 AM  –  2:00 PM

Come help us investigate the health of our area streams by collecting the aquatic macroinvertebrates that live there. These critters give us a general idea of the water quality. Plus, it’s fun and easy to do! We’ll gather, form teams, head out to streams to collect, and then gather again for identification. You can help with collection, identification, or both! Lunch will be provided for those who stay for identification.

No experience required, and all equipment will be provided. Dress appropriately for getting wet and/or muddy. Not all stream locations are universally accessible. Event may be postponed if the weather or river conditions are unsafe. 

For ages 14-99, minors must be accompanied by an adult. 

No fee to volunteer!
