Biomonitoring Open Lab Nights Begin November 4!
Join CSI for an evening of hands-on science and community learning! Beginning Wednesday, November 4, from 6–9 p.m., volunteers will help sort and identify benthic macroinvertebrates—small stream-dwelling organisms, such as aquatic insects—collected from local streams during the 2026 summer monitoring season.
These fascinating critters offer valuable clues about stream health and water quality while showcasing the incredible biodiversity of the Finger Lakes region.
No experience necessary! Our Biomonitoring Program Coordinator, Adrianna, will provide all the training you need. Open labs are held on a drop-in basis, so stay for as little or as long as you’d like. Come early if you can, as we occasionally finish processing samples ahead of schedule.
