Parents/guardians will be responsible for their child(ren) for the entire workshop. \nSaturday\, May 20\, 2023 from 9am – 12pm  \nLocation\nKreher Preserve & Nature Center\n2222 N College St\nAuburn\, AL 36830 \nRegistration Fees \nRegistration is $5 for each participant in the family. Note: Your registration is not complete until your payment is received.

To make the most of your experience during the workshop\, parents/guardians will go through the Introduction to Alabama Water Watch Online Course to be introduced to our program and citizen science. \nKids will get up close and personal with critters of the creek! They will collect aquatic macroinvertebrates using nets and pans\, conduct simple identification\, and help determine a biotic index as an indicator of water quality. Kids will also participate in hands-on activities focused on water pollution and adaptations of macroinvertebrates. \nAWW Monitoring Certification in Stream Biomonitoring is available for parents and guardians who complete additional requirements. Get in touch with us if you are interested! \nAdverse Conditions Statement \nIn the spirit of good stewardship of our participants’ safety\, health\, and physical condition\, Alabama Watch Water would like to address some of the potential hazards and/or special circumstances that outdoor workshop events may present to individuals.
