Hello Watershed Enthusiasts!
The Clinton River Watershed Council is hosting a Winter Stonefly Search on Saturday, January 30th, 2010, from 10AM – 2PM. Interested residents are encouraged to join the CRWC staff and area volunteers as they play sleuth for these aquatic bugs.
The Winter Stonefly larvae are one of the most sensitive of all aquatic macroinvertebrates that live in our rivers and streams. These insects are most active and easily found in the month of January when the water temperature is very cold and there is still plenty of leafy debris in the river bottom for stoneflies to forage on. The presence of stonefly larvae in a stream indicates good water quality.
Registration is required. To register, contact the CRWC office (248-601-0606 or e-mail contact@crwc.org). This event is held regardless of weather so make sure to dress warmly. Participants can bring there own waders and CRWC will provide additional pairs for volunteers who choose to get in the water. No experience needed so bring along a friend to help search for these pre-historic looking creatures! Directions: Meet at Yates Park located in Rochester Hills at the intersection of 23 mile Rd and Dequindre Rd across from the Yates Cider Mill.
Communities and residents are encouraged to participate in these volunteer events to learn about their local watershed, its current quality, and what landowners can do to protect water resources.
The Clinton River watershed covers 760 square miles through four counties (Macomb, Oakland, Lapeer, and St. Clair). Over 1.5 million people live in the 60 communities through which the Clinton River flows before reaching Lake St. Clair. CRWC is a non-profit organization that protects, enhances, and celebrates the Clinton River, its watershed, and Lake St. Clair.
See you in the river,
CRWC
