SUMMARY:Invertebrate Monitoring - Wildcat Slough
DESCRIPTION:Invertebrate monitoring involves both a habitat survey and a biological survey of the site.

Recommended personal items include a water bottle\, bug repellent\, sunscreen\, and a hat.\nThis is a free Illinois RiverWatch mentoring event – great for new volunteers who have not attended a workshop and current volunteers who want more practice with monitoring.\nTo participate\, please register using this link. \n
