Preparing for 2021 Sampling Season
We are still assessing the situation for our annual training for samplers.
Sampling takes place on the 2nd Saturday each month, March through November.
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 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
