Saturday October 4 2008 BIBI Monitoring Report

October 5, 20080 

Twleve people showed up for the Fall 2008 Benthic Inventory of Biological Integrity (BIBI) monitoring event. Two teams collected the 12 standard samples on McAleer and Lyon creeks.  A little excitement for the McAleer team: "As we were walking away from the Animal Acres site, we heard a loud crack, and turned back to see a tree falling accross the stream...in the exact spot where we had just finished collecting the third replicate. It was a dead alder, about 12 in. diameter. A very light wind was just starting. At the next site we scrutinized the trees carefully before settling in!"
