Learn water quality sampling methods! Help protect your local stream!

A training for volunteer river monitors will be held on Saturday, March 19, from 8:30-11:00am at the Addison County Regional Planning Commission (14 Seminary St., Middlebury; 388-3141). The Addison County River Watch Collaborative has been working for 20 years to monitor the quality of local rivers. Volunteers collect water samples – which then go to the Vermont D.E.C. laboratory – once a month from April to September. Sample days are usually one Wednesday morning per month (about 7:00-9:30) during spring & summer. We need volunteers to help sample on the Otter Creek, Middlebury River, Lemon Fair River, New Haven River, Lewis Creek, and Little Otter Creek. If you have an interest in the health and wellbeing of our local watersheds, and would like to assist in collecting samples, please join us. Bagels & Coffee will be served for training.
