Opportunity Description: Volunteer in Cuyahoga Valley National Park! We are looking for volunteers to monitor headwater streams. Headwater streams are the very smallest swales and streams that are the origin of larger water bodies. They provide important ecological functions through the retention of sediment, water, and organic matter; nutrient reduction; and by providing corridors for wildlife dispersal. Headwater streams will be monitored in the spring/summer using an Ohio EPA rapid assessment protocol or scoring process called the Headwater Habitat Evaluation Index (HHEI). The HHEI is a physical habitat assessment that includes measuring stream characteristics such as channel substrate and composition, bankfull width and maximum pool depth in order to determine the potential existing aquatic life use of the stream. Classroom and field training will be provided. Age Minimum: 18 and older. If interested, please apply on-line or contact Meg Plona at Meg_Plona@nps.gov or (330)342-0764 ext. 2 for more information.
