SUMMARY:Taxonomic Certification Opportunity in North Carolina
DESCRIPTION:What: Intensive two-week course with an opportunity to take taxonomic certification exams.\n\n\n\nWhen: Session 1 runs from June 21 to July 2\, 2026. Session 2 runs from July 6 to 17\, 2026. Taxonomic Certification Program exams will be offered on July 2 and 17.\n\n\n\nWhere: Highlands Biological Station in Highlands\, North Carolina.\n\n\n\n\nThis immersive\, two-week course provides a comprehensive introduction to the natural history\, evolution\, and taxonomy of the three major aquatic insect orders used in freshwater bioassessment: mayflies (Ephemeroptera)\, stoneflies (Plecoptera)\, and caddisflies (Trichoptera).
