Measuring & Mapping: Time To Get In The Water!

Description:
We want you to join a team that will measure and map a stream site this summer! Learn to “read a river” by characterizing the bed, the banks and other indicators of stream health. You must first attend a training on the field techniques in a hands-on workshop. Then, people will form into teams to map a site on a later date selected by you and the team. Older Children (9+) are welcome to attend but each one must be attended by one adult
Qualifications:
No prior knowledge is necessary. You will not get wet at the training but you will walk IN the stream and possibly over uneven terrain when you map your site.
Hours:

HRWC concentrates on four main areas of concern.1. Watershed Science: HRWC runs several scientific programs designed to gauge the health of the land and water throughout the watershed.
2. Watershed Management: This is the area where watershed science meets watershed policy. HRWC engages in a number of projects to utilize data on the health of the watershed and its component parts to focus on key stressors and develop and then implement management plans to address problems.
3. Education and Stewardship: HRWC works to inspire change in attitudes and actions of the residents of the Huron River Watershed. We desire to show residents that their actions can make a difference for the watershed, both positively and negatively!
4. Advocacy- coming soon.
