Aquatic invertebrates are some of the most common organisms used in regulatory and community science biomonitoring efforts. Yet, a lack of confidence in identification can impact participation and data collection efforts. Using a variety of aquatic invertebrate specimens, this session will focus on some of the most frequently encountered confusing, look-a-like, or indistinct aquatic invertebrate taxa in Wisconsin. This interactive workshop is suited for beginner and intermediate audiences. 

20% off by January 31st. The last day to register for in-person attendance is March 16 (walk-in registration available if there are still spots open in the workshops)
