Volunteers Needed For The Spring Stream Sampling
We are seeking volunteers for the Spring Stream Sampling (a.k.a. “Bug Count”) on Sunday morning, June 2, at Kids Creek in Traverse City. This fun and important event lasts just over two hours and is open to all ages. Volunteers will be outdoors helping to collect aquatic invertebrates—tiny but vital indicators of water quality.
This hands-on project is part of a collaboration with the Watershed Center and MiCorps, supporting the ongoing monitoring of our local waterways.
If you’d like to lend a hand (and maybe get your feet wet!), please email Andrew Kohlmann at andrew@image360tc.com to sign up.
