Save Our Streams Macroinvertebrate Field Training at YRSF
Join the Save our Streams (SOS) staff of the Izaak Walton League and Friends of Yellow River State Forest for a volunteer Macroinvertebrate Field Training training, May 6, 10 am at Yellow River State Forest, Harpers Ferry.
The Save Our Streams field training offers hands-on experience in water quality monitoring, including biological, chemical, and physical stream assessments. Participants also learn to assess stream habitat and watershed land uses. You’ll leave your field training fully equipped to assess water quality.
You must PRE-REGISTER FOR THIS FREE WORKSHOP by emailing Taylor.Schaefers@dubuquecountyiowa.gov.
The Izaak Walton League’s Save Our Streams program is the only nationwide program training volunteers to protect waterways from pollution and bring information about water quality to their communities. Today, trained volunteer stream monitors across the country are uncovering pollution problems and urging their local leaders to take action on water quality. The work of these volunteers also creates a critical record of water quality over time, making it possible to quickly identify pollution problems that may develop in the future. Anybody can get trained as a volunteer stream monitor.
