Volunteers collect and analyze water samples and gather and identify macro-invertebrates (tiny bugs) to determine the relative health of stream waters that are part of the White River watershed. They send data recorded quarterly to the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission.

NCAMN’s Stream Team has adopted the following streams:

Baxter County

Little Pigeon Creek in Mountain Home

Marion County

Moccasin Creek and Jimmie Creek near Flippin

Crooked Creek access points at Fred Berry and Pyatt

Shawnee Town Branch and Mill Creek in Yellville

Izard County

Calico Creek in Calico Rock

Strawberry River in Horseshoe Bend

Fulton County

Spring River—South Branch at Salem

Stone County (with Foothills chapter, FAMN)

South Sylamore Creek at Allison

Work continues throughout the year, one workday morning per month.
