Summer Macroinvertebrate Count Shows Creek in Poor Health

Our summer macroinvertebrate survey of the Little Falls Creek discovered only 8 species which gives the creek a poor rating for its biological health. The Summer macroinvertebrate count is part of our water quality monitoring program. We survey the creek 4 times a year to learn about its biological health.

Stream Scores Poor in Fall Monitoring

Thanks to everyone for an efficient and productive Fall Monitoring.    With a plethora of volunteers - there were 9 of us - we recorded 106 macro's.   Watching small minnow mayflies take flight might have been the highlight of the day or possibly finding one Narrow Winged Damsel Fly (thanks to Averill!).
