The Upper Sangamon River Conservancy and River Watch continue our long-term collaboration to study freshwater mussels in the Sangamon River. Join us to help collect, tag, and measure mussels. Join us for one or all four opportunities to be a citizen scientist!

Volunteers should wear clothes and old shoes, such as sneakers, that are suitable for getting muddy and soaked. Recommended personal items include a water bottle, bug repellent, sunscreen, and a hat. A lunch will be provided for this event.

No experience is necessary. There are a limited number of spots for this event. This event is free, but registration is required. To register email Bruce Colravy at bmcolravy@msn.com.

We will meet at the Museum of the Grand Prairie, 600 N. Lombard St, Mahomet, and shuttle to Heron View Forest Preserve, 399 County Road 2650. No parking at Heron View.
