The Environmental Quality Institute's Macroinvertebrate Sampling Workshop

WNC Stream Volunteers Are Needed!

TRAINING: Saturday, September 23rd, 9am-4pm, at UNC-Asheville (and nearby creek)

Join over 100 volunteers to help sample local streams for water quality! Learn to identify aquatic insects and why they are important indicators of healthy rivers and creeks. Volunteers will be trained in sampling methods for use in a long-term monitoring project at sites in Haywood, Madison, Buncombe, Yancey, and Mitchell Counties. Volunteering is open to anyone seventeen and older with any background or level of experience.  This training is only held twice a year! Come join us!

Volunteer Expectations: Volunteers will work in small groups with leaders to sample a minimum of two sites a season. They will be responsible for sampling once in spring and once in the fall season (2-3 hrs per site). Be prepared to have fun and contribute to citizen science!
