Project RED (Riverine Early Detectors)

Project RED (Riverine Early Detectors) is a FREE monitoring program in partnership with UW Extension designed to train and empower citizens to identify and report invasive species within river corridors statewide.

The Wild Rivers Conservancy, Polk County LWRD, and National Park Service will teach you how to:

• Monitor your river by canoe, kayak, or on foot for species of concern.
• Choose locations and a monitoring schedule that are convenient to you.
• Utilize online data management tools to report your findings.

The protocols are easy and fun! Use this activity to become more familiar with your river or stream and to engage your friends and neighbors!
