Across Michigan, groups are sending out volunteers to find and identify the macroinvertebrates (insects and crustaceans) in creeks and rivers. No experience is necessary to be a part of one of these teams!
If this sounds interesting to you, check out the spring monitoring schedule to find a group near your house. Groups are scheduled to go out throughout April and May. The schedule is found here: https://micorps.net/news/stream-monitoring-spring-2016/
