OPEN HOUSE ON MAY 22!
Are you concerned about northeast Ann Arbor?
Learn what is new in the neighborhood at an Open House from 7-9pm on
Tuesday May 22nd at Logan School, 2685 Traver Road organized by the
Millers Creek Action Team (MCAT).
Did you know that Michigan Tech has located a branch here? How will the
creek be affected by Pfizer leaving? Ask the City, the University and
developers, about their plans.
MCAT and other experts will be on hand with exhibits and slide
presentations for brainstorming and discussions about what has been
accomplished and what the future holds.
Join us for an evening with your neighbors and talk about what we can do
to beautify our own landscapes and promote the health of Millers Creek.
Take home native plants, which will be given as door prizes.
Enjoy light refreshments.
Contact Joan Martin at 734-769-5123 or e-mail her at jmartin@hrwc.org with questions.

Monitoring Success
The Adopt-A-Stream Program's spring monitoring (April, 2007) was a great
success. Over 140 people sampled aquatic insect populations at 54 sites
in the Huron River watershed. Eight study sites were located on Millers
Creek. To learn the results or to be part of the study, call Jo or Joan
at (734) 769-5123.
Join the Study!
You can help HRWC to search for aquatic life in the eight study sites
on this dynamic creek in January, April, and September. Like canaries
in the mine, aquatic insect larvae can tell us about the streams because
they respond to a deteriorating environment before we do. The results
help to guide future efforts to improve Millers Creek.
(No prior knowledge is necessary for any of these.)
