Macroinvertebrates are insects in their nymph and larval stages that spend at least part of their lives in the water and the diversity of them can help to determine water quality. Be a part of this citizen science effort in Gladwin as we spend the morning sampling the river, with a lunch provided after. We will meet at the Gladwin Conservation District’s Community Garden at 10 AM before heading out to sample sites.
