Interested in getting outdoors and learning about the environment around you? Join us for our Spring 2024 Adopt-A-Stream event! Volunteers do not need experience in water quality or macroinvertebrate identification. Students aged 13 and up are welcome to participate if accompanied by an adult.

On collection day, volunteers will work in teams to collect macroinvertebrates from different sites along the Upper Grand River. Volunteers can either wade in the water and collect bugs or stay dry on land and help sort the bugs.

Help us to increase information on the ecological quality of Michigan rivers! The bugs we find will help us track the health of the river over time.
