Stream Explorers 101: A Treasure Hunt

  • Greater Lovell Land Trust PO Box 225 Lovell, ME, 04051 United States (map)

Let's learn about Maine Audubon's Stream Explorers program. We'll get our feet wet as we turn over stones, search among submerged plants and check tree roots in the water with our hands and catch any detritus with a net. On shore, we'll examine the findings, and learn how to ID aquatic insects and macroinvertebrates. Finally, we'll determine which ones are sensitive, moderately sensitive, or tolerant of water pollution or impaired water conditions.
