    Description

    Rouge River Winter Stonefly Search

    Join a team to search for stoneflies in Rouge streams. This is an outdoor event so you must dress for the weather. Pre-registration is required. Volunteers meet at a central location for refreshments, an introduction and meet their assigned team. Each team travels to two sites throughout the watershed. Under the direction of their team leader, volunteers search for stoneflies in sample trays. Children must be 8 or older and be accompanied by a participating adult; groups of up to four. Data collected is used to track the health of the watershed.

    On-site

    PARC - Plymouth Arts & Recreation Complex

    650 Church St, Plymouth, MI 48170, USA
    Directions

    We meet in the Jack Wilcox Theater inside the Plymouth Arts and Recreation Complex, Plymouth, Michigan, United States, 48170. From Church Street, follow Adams Street along the west side of the building to access the very large parking lot behind the main building. You can park anywhere in the lot, but there’s usually plenty of space closer to the back entrance. There is a red awning with “PARC” on it – enter through the double doors past the banner of PARC, CCS and FOTR flags. Upon entering take a right and pass through the blue doors. Turn right and walk past the front entrance, then turn right and you will see the registration table for the event on the right outside the auditorium.
