Benthic Macroinvertebrate Survey Training on Glady Fork, WV

TU, in partnership with West Virginia Save Our Streams, will be holding a Benthic Macroinvertebrate Survey training on Glady Fork near Bowden, WV on October 25th, 2014 from 10am to 3pm. Volunteers will learn how to effectively choose sample sites, collect benthic macroinvertebrates, identify them and calculate a benthic macroinvertebrate index water quality score for their stream. Biological sampling provides useful information in the cumulative and long term impacts shale gas development may have on water quality.
