Join park rangers as we search for juvenile dragonflies for the National Dragonfly Mercury Project, a nationwide project that monitors mercury in national parks. Volunteers will use dip nets to sample juvenile dragonflies along shorelines of lakes and wetlands, participate in sample collection and learn about identifying juvenile dragonfly nymphs. Up to 12 volunteers for each site; ideal for ages 8+ though all ages are welcome. Contact Paula Swingley (paula_swingley@nps.gov) with interest in participation or with any questions.
Volunteers should be prepared to walk and stand on uneven ground on the edge of a lake.
