June 22, 9 am - 11 am-Biological water sampling at Indian Creek
Meet at the St Rt 732 entrance to Indian Creek Preserve in Reily.
Learn how to conduct a biological sample of a stream. We will learn about the various macroinivertebrates that live under water, and how they can be used to tell water quality. Then we will get in the creek to collect a sample and identify the creatures to assess that water.
We will be knee deep in the water. If you were reading glasses, please bring them for when we identify the "bugs."
