Coronavirus and Sampling Update

Sampling is on, but our lab is still only able to have minimal people to allow for distancing.

New Lab Videos

Thanks to Zak Schultz, one of the awesome graduate students, we now have training videos for each of the lab stations.

New Habitat Evaluation

cQHEI is a visual assessment of the creek habitat, looking at things like substrate, tree cover, and fallen logs.  Here is the form that is used for scoring cQHEI form

To become a habitat volunteer, please complete the following:

• Watch the Training video (37 minutes)

• Watch and score the two test videos (about 3 minutes each)  (Indian Creek and Rentschler)

• Then, contact Lynn and send her your score sheets for the two test videos

Butler County Stream Team is a citizen science group that collects, analyzes, and reports water quality data from many waterways in Butler County.

​

The Stream Team exists through the collaborative effort of Butler County resident volunteers, the Institute for the Environment and Sustainability at Miami University, the Butler County Storm Water District, and the Butler Soil and Water Conservation District.
