Get outside, give back and learn something new all in one evening!
Volunteers are invited to participate in a macroinvertebrate survey around the Dublin Community Recreation Center. The number and diversity of macroinvertebrates provides clues to the water quality in a stream. Volunteers will assist MAD Scientist Associates in finding, identifying and recording macroinvertebrates in Indian Run both upstream and downstream of the Dublin Community Recreation Center. This data will be analyzed after the project and shared with both the Franklin Soil and Water Conservation District and the City of Dublin as part of the City’s commitment to Sustainability.
Volunteers will receive training on capturing, identifying and recording macroinvertebrates in the stream. Halfway through the program, volunteers will walk to the other side of the Dublin Community Recreation Center and repeat the process.
This project does require volunteers to walk off-trail on uneven ground, walk and stand in the steam itself and catch and release macroinvertebrates.
Volunteers will meet at the Coffman Park West Shelter
