this project assessed and characterized physical and biological conditions in forested headwater streams in the Deerfield River watershed, with an emphasis on describing the macroinvertebrate fauna that occur in our forested headwaters. A better understanding of headwater streams is necessary to ensure the preservation of their values and functions. Accordingly, the goal of this project was to characterize current conditions in forested headwater streams in the watershed with a focus on describing macroinvertebrate communities in these areas and the environmental conditions that support them.
