Adopt-a-Stream Events
Adopt-a-Stream is celebrated each spring and fall. This is your opportunity to help collect valuable data about the health of our watershed. We collect macro-invertebrates (bugs living in the river) from 16 sites across the watershed.
​
This event is a three day project:
​
Day 1) Training Day - You learn about the project and how to collect bugs in the river safely.
Day 2) Stream Search Day - You get out in the river and collect some bugs!
Day 3) Bug ID Day - Get an up-close look at the bugs you found in the river and learn about the
health of the stream.

RRWC would like to partner with you to help clean up the river!
Join us in:
