Description:
Calling all environmental enthusiasts, curious learners, and anyone keen to explore Toi Ohomai’s environmental management offerings! Join us for a hands-on water quality workshop focused on freshwater health and biodiversity.

In the first session, you’ll examine macroinvertebrates under microscopes and calculate MCI (Macroinvertebrate Community Index) scores, a key indicator of stream health. The second session will involve water quality testing using field kits, including coliform identification and counting.

The workshop will be guided by experienced facilitators. No prior experience is needed, just bring your curiosity and care for our waterways!
