This August the Upper Deschutes Watershed Council, in partnership with the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation, will sample aquatic macroinvertebrates on Whychus Creek. Macroinvertebrate monitoring is one component of a 10-year, watershed-scale monitoring effort on Whychus Creek to assess improvements in habitat quality for re-introduced steelhead and Chinook salmon. We are seeking volunteers to participate in our 2011 macroinvertebrate sampling on August 20th. If you’ve ever wanted to participate in watershed stewardship or learn more about your local watershed and stream ecosystems, this is a great opportunity to get in the creek, help collect important information about macroinvertebrate communities, and learn first-hand about these tiny aquatic organisms and their vital role in our rivers and streams. For more information please go to http://www.restorethedeschutes.org.

We especially need volunteers who are willing to drive personal vehicles to transport sampling teams between sites.


Please rsvp to Lauren Mork at lmork@restorethedeschutes.org  or at 541-382-6103 x39. You can also contact Darek Staab DStaab@tu.org to find out more information.
