It's time to get your feet wet.

This hands on field session is the second part of the Save Our Streams Benthic Macroinvertebrate (BMI) Monitor training. You'll put your classroom knowledge into practice by collecting, identifying, and evaluating aquatic insects in a local stream.

During this session, you'll:

• Learn proper stream sampling techniques

• Use kick nets and other monitoring equipment

• Sort and identify aquatic insects

• Complete a stream health assessment

• Practice recording and submitting monitoring data

This field session is required to complete the local BMI monitor training and should be taken after attending the July 11 classroom session or completing the official Save Our Streams online certification.
