Virtual CLEAN Environmental Science Field Trip: Macroinvertebrate Survey

Follow Cahaba River Society’s environmental educators to a beautiful section of the Cahaba River to explore beneath the water’s surface and discover the creatures that live there. Learn about these special animals and what their presence means about the health of the River, and then our staff will show you everything that you need to conduct your own macroinvertebrate study in a water body near you!
