For the Love Water: Meet stream macroinvertebrates!
For the Love Water: Meet stream macroinvertebrates!
Academic Outreach Tuesday February 10, 2026
Come, show your love this Valentine's week with some stream monitoring on Friday, Feb. 13! This time, we will do both chemical and macroinvertebrate monitoring! We will visit several streams that run through or impact Georgia College & State University:
- Champion Creek at Lake Laurel (9 - 10:30 a.m.) at Georgia College's East Campus
- Tobler Creek at Andalusia Farm (11 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.)
- Tanyard Creek by College Station (2 - 3:30 p.m.)
No experience is necessary. Be sure to wear closed-toed shoes that can get wet. We will use Georgia Adopt-a-Stream methods to test temperature, dissolved oxygen, conductivity and pH of the streams, all while enjoying the beauty of Georgia College! We will also collect and identify macroinvertebrates found in each of our streams. Can't make it this time? No worries. We will do our regular chemical monitoring in March, so check back for more opportunities.
This is a GCSU Thirst for Knowledge event.
