This research, education, and outreach project continues efforts with local watershed groups to monitor macroinvertebrates in streams throughout the Schuylkill River Basin, which is located in the Northern Piedmont and the Ridge and Valley ecoregions. Work during 2010 focused on long-term change and environmental variation among the 19 sites on the major tributaries of the Schuylkill River that were sampled annually between 1996 and 2010.
