In the wake of Hurricane Helene, MountainTrue is dedicated to addressing the urgent needs of our community.
Interested in helping protect WNC's rivers? Join a Stream Team today! Our stream teams assess the health of local rivers by collecting and identifying aquatic insects that serve as indicators of water quality. This one day Stream Monitoring Information Exchange (SMIE) workshop will equip you with the skills and knowledge required to join a stream team. The morning will be spent learning about these insects in the lab. We will head out into the field in the afternoon to learn the protocol. All materials, lunch and snacks will be provided. Please wear clothes you can get dirty and bring a water bottle!
