Exploring for stream life in the Kokosing River.

Come explore stream life in your local Scenic River. Learn how ODNR determines stream health by the types of animals we find using a kick seine and turning rocks. Free and open to the public. Groups are welcome or can schedule a free private outing. Wear closed-toe shoes and clothing that can get wet. Attending qualifies as first step to becoming a stream quality monitoring volunteer. Activity is weather and water-level dependent, so please RSVP to Christine Szymanski, Central Ohio Stream Quality Monitoring Coordinator, to stay informed of changes.
