Join other volunteers with the Benzie Conservation District as we sample macroinvertebrates to assess stream quality on either the Platte River, Betsie River, or Herring Creek.  While TAPC members have helped out with the Platte River team in the past, we may sample on the Betsie in order to randomize our collecting.

Volunteers are needed to wade the river collecting samples, to sort through the samples and preserve macroinvertebrate specimens, or to help out with the activity in general.  We will work at three sites along the river collecting for about an hour at each site and stop for lunch provided by the Conservation District.  Collecting equipment is provided but having your own tall waterproof boots for standing around the shore is a plus.
