WV Rivers’ and Trout Unlimited’s WV/VA Water Quality Monitoring Program is partnering with the West Virginia Save Our Streams Program to train volunteer water quality monitors to conduct benthic macroinvertebrate assessments. Collecting, identifying and counting aquatic insects is a great way to understand the long-term and cumulative health of a stream. Read about a recent Save Our Streams workshop we hosted here.
