Volunteers are needed to assist the Park Service in an electro-shock evaluation of Lynn Camp Prong. The work is scheduled for Monday, June 25 through Thursday, June 28, weather permitting. I have suppressed the long distribution list for this message to make it easier for you to read.
This evaluation will measure the success of the stream treatment performed last year to remove rainbow trout. It will also measure the population of brook trout for this important brook trout restoration project. It is expected that the work will take all day for each day scheduled. All the workers will have to hike up the trail to the sample sites and work in the stream as part of the electro-shock team. So the work will be moderately strenuous.

If you want to help on any of these days, please let me know.
Thanks.
