Training for New Hellgrammite Stream Quality Monitoring Volunteers

May 29, 6:30 to 9 PM at the Streamside Education Center of Highbanks Metro Park 

FLOW’s “Hellgrammite” volunteers monitor the insects and other small creatures that live in the waters of the Olentangy to get a good picture of the stream’s health over time and to alert us to potential problems.  No previous experience is necessary to become a volunteer, and this is a perfect opportunity for families with children who want to learn more about our river.  After a two-hour training led by Ohio Department of Natural Resources staff, volunteers will be requested to visit and report on their assigned sites three times over the course of the summer and fall.
