 Join RiverWatch to become a part of a large network of volunteers
who steward and protect Illinois streams. RiverWatch-certified
volunteers, referred to as citizen scientists, are trained to detect
and track the changes in water quality as suggested by changes in
the population of macroinvertebrates, such as dragonfly nymphs,
beetle larva, midges and snails. In doing so, the volunteers provide
valuable insight on the health of rivers and streams.The
interactive workshop will give participants the tools to test water
quality and collect reliable data. To learn more about RiverWatch,
visit ngrrec.org.
The workshop fee is $50 per person, and registration is required.
Registration is through the National Great Rivers Research and
Education Center. For more information on
registering, visit
ngrrec.org/riverwatch or contact Nate Keener at 618-468-2782 or
nkeener@lc.edu. Participants
should bring a lunch.
