Enthused fly fisherman or water biology aficionado, this one day workshop is for you! Starting inside with materials to introduce you to stream monitoring, ecology of aquatic critters (macroinvertebrates and microbes) and a hands-on exercise for simulating a biological assessment, we will then go outside for about 2-3 hours to collect organisms and categorize them for calculating a biotic index of stream health. Participants should come prepared to enter a knee-deep stream in the afternoon with water shoes, boots or hip waders. Other equipment and materials needed for the workshop will be provided.
