Upcoming River Watch Trainings
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
River Watch volunteers come in all shapes in sizes:
- Elementary, Middle, and High School groups participate in our program to provide in-depth education and experience in real life science that extends beyond the classroom.
- Conservation groups and community organizations concerned with water quality issues in their areas participate to learn more about watershed health in their region.
Interested volunteers must participate in a training before becoming part of the River Watch program. After the training, groups agree to sample at a designated station monthly for metals, nutrients and other parameters. Since water quality data must be recorded over time to understand the baseline conditions and any changes that occur in the system, we are seeking volunteers that can make a several year commitment to the program.
The fee for new groups to become part of River Watch is a one time cost of $200. With this fee, groups will obtain over $1300 worth of water quality equipment, and this includes the cost of one person’s attendance at training. Scholarships are available to those groups who demonstrate their inability to pay the new group fee.
Two New Trainings Scheduled
