Macroinvertebrate Sampling and Habitat Assessments - June
Summer 2026 macroinvertebrate sampling and riparian habitat assessments will begin in mid-June. We plan to complete 10-12 sites in 4 to 6 sampling days. If you are interesting in helping, please email: [email protected]. In your email please note if you have been through habitat assessment training.
Help with Kids-In-The-Creek Site Repairs
Hurricane Helene damaged our Kids-In-The-Creek educational sites. In June, volunteers will be needed to assist with repairs to one of the sites. The date is to be determined (likely a Saturday) and the work should be completed within 4 to 6 hours. We need a small Bobcat with a bucket and operator, and 8 to 12 people willing to use shovels and rakes, spread grass seed, and plant bushes. If you can lend a hand please email [email protected] and let us know dates and times that you are available.
