Winter Stonefly Search
Get outside this winter!
Volunteer with our Adopt-a-Stream program and do real science with Michigan’s premier river study program. Meet new people. A trained leader shows you what to do, and the activities are suitable for all ages, from children to seniors.
WHAT: Join a small team of volunteers and travel to a stream or stretch of river. You’ll help our experienced researchers collect stoneflies, figure out what makes stream healthy or unhealthy, and understand how river ecology works.
Children are welcome to attend but each one must be attended by an adult.
WHERE: Start at the NEW Center, 1100 N. Main Street, Ann Arbor, and then go out to 2 stream sites somewhere in Livingston, Oakland, and Washtenaw Counties.
WHEN: Saturday, January 29, 2011, but you must register early. There are 2 starting times: 10:15 or 11:45AM.
DEADLINE: Registration opens in December, 2010 and closes on January 12, 2011.
NEXT STEP: First time volunteers, please fill out the basic information form and the registration form. Returning volunteers, please fill out the registration form only.
