The Illinois RiverWatch Network in partnership with the Upper Sangamon River Conservancy is hosting 2 mentoring sessions in the Sangamon watershed this June. These events are intended to help new RiverWatch volunteers get involved without first attending a training workshop and to help current volunteers get more comfortable with the monitoring methods. Volunteers who participate in the Mentoring Events will collect macroinvertebrates (water bugs) and describe the physical condition of the stream habitat to help determine the stream’s health. No previous knowledge or experience is necessary. The events are designed for everyone, whether they have a biology degree or simply want to understand the stream in their backyards better. This event is free for participants, but it does require registration using this link. https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/ev/reg/rcqughp
