Bolton Conservation Commission to Host Riffle Bioassessment of Wadable Streams by Volunteers (RBV)
Join us for our 21st annual RBV on Sunday, October 27, 2024, beginning at 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM at the Herrick Park Lodge on Bates Way off 29 Hebron Road. Bolton, CT 06043. FREE PIZZA will be offered to participants.
Since 2003, the Conservation Commission has been part of this citizen science project which is a program facilitated by the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (CT DEEP). Each fall, teams go out to specific locations to collect and identify the small macroinvertebrates that live in the streambeds. The types of creatures found in stream rifles are a strong indicator of the health of the stream. These bioassessments increase the CT DEEP’s knowledge of which areas in Bolton are clean and which are stressed.
We hope you can join us on the 27th. No experience is necessary, but volunteers should wear footwear suitable for wading in shallow water and may bring waterproof gloves as well. Event will be held rain or shine. Please register by emailing RParlee@BoltonCT.gov and/or Matt Rivers at mrivers@boltonconservationcommission@outlook.com or call 860-649-8066 ext. 6110 and leave a message.
