 ​Cedar River Spring Stream Sampling
May 17th at 10 AM at Gladwin Conservation District’s Community Garden

Join us as we monitor the health of the Cedar River, by collecting macroinvertebrates on Saturday, May 17th! 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. Thanks to Rivers are Life for sponsoring this event!

Registration required. Register here!
