Help us to collect benthic macroinvertebrates in the Spokane River. Macro communities are biological indicators of water quality and ecosystem health and we want to know more about them in the Spokane River. We will be teaming up with experts from Eastern Washington University for this 1.5 hour event that will teach you to sample, collect, and identify this underwater bugs.
Please bring water shoes or shoes you can get wet. We will provide the supplies. Please note that although we intend to return these bugs to the river we will be handling and identifying them for science and there may be some accidental mortality.
