Register today for our Stream Sampling days!

Sampling aquatic insects, including mayflies and stoneflies, provides important insights into the health of Whychus Creek. Volunteers meet at Creekside Park in Sisters for a sampling training, then, in teams of two to four, use nets to collect aquatic insect samples from the stream at sites along Whychus. This event is a great opportunity to learn about habitat restoration on Whychus Creek for salmon and steelhead, spend a day along less-visited reaches of the creek, and contribute to knowledge about how restoration actions are changing stream conditions. For questions about Stream Sampling, please contact our Monitoring Program Manager Lauren Mork at lmork@restorethedeschutes.org

This event takes place on two separate days. Please register for the specific day you would like to volunteer by using the links below:

• Thursday, August 8th
