Warren B&G Club Helping With Stream Monitoring

On March 12, youth and staff from the Warren-Holyfield Boys and Girls Club helped the Sierra Club volunteers who conduct periodic analysis of the chemical and biological status of the South Fork of Peachtree Creek (near Medlock Park in Decatur) as part of Georgia Adopt-A-Stream.  They helped measure the water chemistry and looked for macroinvertebrates living in the creek.  The finds included fresh-water clams and a large crayfish.  The Sierra Club survey team gave excellent explanations of how stream monitoring works, and recorded the findings for posting on the Adopt-A-Stream web site (http://georgiaadoptastream.com/db/Default.asp).
