Kicknetting! Stream Sampling
1:00 pm
Location: Kohler Park, Horsham, PA
Join PCWA as we sample a small section of Park Creek to determine water quality and take a macroinvertebrate census.
This survey of stream insects is used to calculate a benthic index of biological integrity (B-IBI) which helps to assess the ecological functioning of fish habitat in the creek. Fluctuations in creek insect populations reflect short-term occurrences of adverse chemical and physical stream conditions and provide the strongest means of assessing the health of a creek. By monitoring the macroinvertebrate populations we can gauge the health of the Park Creek

Everyone is Welcome to attend this free event.
