SUMMARY:2024 ECCSMP Fall Stream Monitoring Identification
DESCRIPTION:Learn what it takes to be a community scientist at this free event! You will help to identify the aquatic insects collected from Eaton County streams to calculate a water quality score. Identification day will be held on October 23\, 2024 from 11am-1pm. Volunteers will meet in a science classroom at The University of Olivet. All equipment will be provided\, and refreshments will be available. \nRegister HERE for our fall stream monitoring identification event on October 23rd. \nContact Val Reisen at val.reisen@macd.org or 517-588-6302 for more information. \n  \nThe Eaton County Collaborative Stream Monitoring Program was established through Michigan Clean Water Corps (MiCorps) grants and operates in partnership between The University of Olivet and Eaton Conservation District. The monitoring program consists of sites in Eaton County within the Upper Thornapple River watershed. The design of the monitoring program focuses on cooperative learning and building relationships between volunteer community scientists and students. Through this collaborative structure\, the program is designed for longevity in collecting macroinvertebrate and habitat data throughout the county each fall and spring\, and aims to achieve the following outcomes: \n\nProvide new and continuous macroinvertebrate collection and habitat assessment data that will assist in assessing the success of any restoration projects and updating the watershed management plan;\n\n\nEducate and collaboratively engage Eaton County residents\, students\, and other stakeholders in monitoring\, upholding quality\, and protecting water resources; and\n\n\nIdentify or verify problem areas where degradation has occurred and where future remediation efforts or best management practices can be implemented.\n\nThis program is funded through MiCorps Stream Monitoring Grants. MiCorps is administered for the Department of Environment\, Great Lakes and Energy by Michigan State University\, in partnership with the Michigan Lakes and Streams Association and Huron River Watershed Council.

SUMMARY:Cedar River Stream Sampling
DESCRIPTION:Little Forks began monitoring the water quality of the Cedar River back in 2015 and with an increase in restoration projects and land protection along the watershed\, we have documented positive changes in the quality of the river. \nWe will meet at Gladwin Conservation District Community Garden pavilion on Saturday\, September 7th at 10am to review the protocol for the day and divide into teams. We will sample six sites along the Cedar River in both Gladwin and Clare counties to collect macroinvertebrates\, animals without a backbone that can be seen with the naked eye. After collection\, we will reconvene at the Pavilion for lunch! \nUsing the specimens found in the river\, we can determine the quality of the water. This is done on ID Night where volunteers can help identify the collected specimens. ID Night will take place on Monday\, September 9th from 5:30-7pm at the Little Forks office in Midland (125 McDonald St\, 2nd floor). If you would like to join us for ID Night\, please send and email to ecianek@littleforks.org \nLearn more about stream sampling at https://www.littleforks.org/stream-sampling.html \nRegister for the event HERE.
