Stonefly Search Training

 
Prepare for the winter stonefly search with CRWC!

Stoneflies play a special role in determining Michigan’s water quality. Stonefly nymphs are extremely sensitive to water pollution and develop in cool, well-oxygenated water. The presence of the stonefly is an indicator of good water quality, and their absence in areas where they previously occurred may indicate pollution.

This training prepares volunteers to canvass winter stonefly populations at locations along the Clinton River and its tributaries at our winter Stonefly Search on February 17. This fun and educational event is free, family-friendly, and open to the public - no experience required!
