Save Our Streams
May 25, 2023 @ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Save Our Streams (SOS) is a fun way to test water quality by collecting and identifying underwater insects, called macroinvertebrates. The Izaak Walton League provides training and support for those who wish to become a certified SOS Monitor to monitor twice a year.
This training will take place at the Des Moines Izaak Walton League chapter house (4343 George Flagg Pkwy, Des Moines, IA 50321) and will utilize the nearby Frink Creek. Attendees are encouraged to complete the online portion of SOS certification before attending.
