Sampling The Black Brook With The RLT

June 27, 2014 By eastwickpress

Sample the Waters at Ingalls Preserve’s Black Brook on Sunday, July 13, from 1 to 3 pm. Join the Rensselaer Land Trust as it hosts this citizen science opportunity – sampling the waters of native brook trout at their Ingalls Preserve’s Black Brook. Participants will conduct simple visual assessments of habitat to gain a greater appreciation of local stream ecology. They will be looking for aquatic insects that come in many sizes and shapes as well as a wide range of pollution tolerance levels. This is a hands on, feet wet outing so come prepared to wade in the stream, learn about stream ecosystems and have some fun!

The field study will be beneficial to citizen volunteers who desire to establish a stream monitoring program. To register, contact Francille Egbert at 518-674-3214, or fran.egbert@gmail. com. Information on the meeting place will be given at the time of registration. There is no charge. More RLT events can be found at www.renstrust.org
