Trout Brook Gets First Temp Loggers

MA NFC board members Jeff Moore and Brian Hutchison deployed the first two temp loggers on Trout Brook in Dover, Massachusetts, as part of our Holistic Assessment/Restoration beta project. Both loggers were installed in important spring-fed tributaries to the mainstem and will be used to monitor temperature and flag dryness or intermittency.

There are 10 more loggers to be installed to fully cover the watershed to help identify and notable temperature stressors. The team will be back to work shortly to install more loggers.

Special thanks to Jake Moore, son of Jeff Moore, for making the rebar shepherds hook posts for securing the loggers and pushing them into the streambed.
