Location description
The sampling location is the same as that for invertebrate monitoring. It is about halfway from the parking lot to the confluence with the Sangamon River. When the stream is in the banks, there is a convenient shelf to draw samples from. The location of the preserve is 2797 North 600 East, Fisher.
