Mussel Monitoring starts 7/10By borges, Section Hills and Valleys
Are you willing to get dirty in the name of science? If so the Valley
Stewardship Network needs you!
The Valley Stewardship Network is partnering with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to perform mussel monitoring in the Kickapoo watershed. Over half of Wisconsin's 51 native mussel species (also known as clams) are listed as species of greatest conservation need or we need information on where they currently occur. Threats like habitat alteration (dams, siltation) and the presence of invasive mussels (zebra mussels) pose major threats to the existence of our native mussels. Mussel monitoring involves getting in the waterway, locating the mussels in the stream bed, taking pictures if they are living or collecting empty shells, and sending this all to the Wisconsin DNR for analysis. Mussel Monitoring Events: July 10th – Mussel Monitoring Training, 9 am-12:30 pm at the Kickapoo Valley Reserve Center - S3661 State Road 131, La Farge. Wisconsin DNR staff will provide information about mussels and show us how to find them. Be prepared to get in the water. August 14th – Mussel Monitoring Event, 1 -3 pm - Location to be announced (Crawford County). Join VSN for an afternoon in the water looking for mussels. All ages are welcome! Children must be accompanied by an adult. For more information contact Sarah at the VSN (608) 637-3615 or visit http://wiatri.net/inventory/mussels/
