TRAINING WORKSHOPS
We are planning to hold a training in spring 2021, please check back for details.
If you have attended one of our Bug Hunts or Stonefly Searches and are interested in learning more and taking on a leadership role at the next event, please sign up for training. Our events are possible due to volunteers who are willing to lead teams on our sampling days.
Must have attended a Bug Hunt, have some experience or be a REP teacher or volunteer.
Learn how to properly collect and identify benthic macroinvertebrates (“bugs”) and become a Team Leader for Bug Hunts and Stonefly Searches. Half indoors; half outdoors at stream. Waders required (we can provide if you let us know your shoe size).
