Class: How to Read a Stream

Learn about the influence of land uses on streams, stream character and dynamics, bank erosion, bar formation, substrate composition, different velocity-depth regimes, and the importance of riffles and riparian vegetation. There will be practice assessing stream habitat by using photographs of streams and the forms that monitors fill out in the field. This class is recommended for anyone who plans to participate in the Audubon Naturalist Society water quality monitoring program and is a good refresher on habitat assessment for experienced monitors. There is a small fee for the class.
