Help us measure the water quality!

WHAT: We need your help to measure the quality of our river and streams this spring and 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 and Wayne Counties, and in streams west of Ann Arbor.

WHERE: Classroom training is scheduled for March 16 at 1 PM at the NEW Center in Ann Arbor. Hands-on training will occur in the field during the first week of sampling.

SAMPLING SITES: One or more stream sites in Washtenaw or Wayne Counties.

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

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.
