Description
Do you ever wonder about what lives in the river besides fish and turtles? Come to our 2026 Fall Bug Hunt and see for yourself the amazing variety of aquatic insects, crayfish, snails, and clams that make up the bottom of the river food chain. Volunteers will visit sites throughout the headwaters of the Rouge watershed and search for aquatic invertebrates. The presence or absence of these streambed creatures gives us valuable data on the quality of the river water and overall habitat.
