Volunteers measuring flow in Honey Creek.

Help us measure the water quality!

WHAT: We need your help to measure the quality of our river and streams this summer! Aside from collecting water samples, you will learn to measure stream flow and sample runoff from rain storms.  You must first attend a training on the field techniques in a hands-on workshop.  Then,  we will form teams to based on interest and availability.   No prior knowledge is necessary. We especially need volunteers willing to work in Livingston County.

WHERE: Training: The first training for 2010 took place on April 17.  You may still sign up and we will contact you when we schedule a future training.  Sampling sites: One or more stream sites in Livingston or Washtenaw Counties.

WHEN: Sampling commitment is 2 or more hours per month May through September, depending on availability and interest.

DEADLINE: There is no deadline, but sampling has already began.  We will be scheduling a future training later this Spring.

NEXT STEP: First time volunteers, please fill out the basic information form and the registration form.  Returning volunteers, please fill out the registration form only.
