Riverwatch monitoring: Sangamon River, Sangamon River Forest Preserve

We’ll be identifying and annotating the site and collecting macroinvertebrate species for later identification. Volunteers will enter the river to take measurements and sample for macroinvertebrates. Volunteers should wear shoes and clothes suitable for getting soaked and muddy. Typically, at least one volunteer has “banker” duties, which means they stay on the bank and don’t enter the river.
