Help us monitor our region’s waters!
Enjoy being outdoors while measuring the quality of local rivers and creeks! Learn how to collect water samples, measure stream flow, and record water chemistry measurements for the Alliance of Downriver Watersheds coordinated by the Huron River Watershed Council. No prior experience needed. After completing this orientation, volunteers are expected to commit to at least 4 sampling trips during the growing season (April through September) to designated monitoring sites in Wayne county. During each sampling trip, volunteers spend 2-4 hours in the field on average.
Orientation is at the Detroit River International Wildlife Refuge. Monitoring is at designated monitoring sites in Washtenaw county. Please register for the orientation at https://www.hrwc.org/volunteer/chemflow/.
