What does it mean to be a steward of the Little Spokane River Watershed? During our four days together, we will answer this question. We will immerse ourselves in developing knowledge and skills needed to check the health of the Little Spokane River. This will include hands-on use of water quality technology, and catching and identifying benthic macroinvertebrate, direct indicators of water quality. Our time together will include two days at the Little Spokane River, canoeing with Peak 7 and collecting data relevant to these questions.
