We still have a few spots left for Stream Sampling on Whychus Creek on August 7^th and 8th! Join other community volunteers, UDWC staff, and our restoration partners to collect aquatic insect samples from key reaches along Whychus where we’ve restored stream habitat and stream flow to benefit reintroduced salmon and steelhead, and redband trout.

We’ll meet at Creekside Park in Sisters for coffee, pastries, and a sampling protocol training. After the training, we will head out in teams of 2-4 to collect samples at various locations along Whychus Creek. 

This is a great chance to see UDWC habitat restoration projects or get to know a new stretch of the creek while helping UDWC and restoration partners understand how stream conditions have changed with restoration actions.
