Join us a as volunteer and assist the Lake Michigan Bird Observatory in monitoring the water quality and aquatic macroinvertebrate populations at 3 local waterways. Just like humans, all bird species need clean water. Many of our passerine and insectivore bird species rely on invertebrates species that begin their lifecycles in our waterways.
Creekside Chirper volunteers will be responsible for measuring and recording water temperature, flow, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, depth and biotic index.
