Join your Friends to look for stoneflies! Stoneflies are a primitive group of insects named for their habitat of crawling on stones in a river. Most stoneflies have high oxygen needs, restricting them to clean well-oxygenated streams. Because of this, they are good indicators of stream quality. Some stoneflies hatch in winter, which is why FOTR will be looking for them in January.

Event Date: Sat. January 24th, 2026 from 10am-3pm(ish), meet at 10am: Jack Wilcox Theater inside Plymouth Arts and Recreation Complex, 650 Church St, Plymouth, MI 48170.

**There will be an indoor welcome from 10 am-11 am where volunteers will have a chance to meet their team, enjoy refreshments (coffee, juice, bagels, and donuts), and watch a short presentation before heading out to two sites throughout the watershed. Ending times for each team will vary, but most teams should be able to finish by 3 pm.

If you have a location preference, please select the shift closest to that location. If you have no preference, feel free to choose any shift that is not full. While we will do our best to honor your selection, reassignment may be necessary based on availability.

Registration open until full or until January 11th, 11:59 pm.
