Fall 2025 Macroinvertebrate Monitoring

2025 Fall Monitoring is September 21st – October 5th

Superior Rivers Watershed Association is seeking volunteers to assist with spring aquatic macroinvertebrate (bug) monitoring fieldwork. No experience necessary – all equipment and training provided!

We will be hosting two training sessions leading up to the monitoring window: one is virtual and the other is in-person outdoors. Only one is required to participate in fieldwork. Training refreshers are required every two years.

The training sessions will teach you what you need to know about collecting aquatic invertebrates for our water quality monitoring program. The virtual session will consist of a Powerpoint with instructional videos and a Q&A with our volunteer coordinator. The in-person, outdoor sessions will be hands-on instruction in a stream.
