RiverWatch

Fresh water is a scarce resource and it is our responsibility to protect it for ourselves and future generations. The Illinois RiverWatch program offers you the opportunity to become involved in the stewardship of the state’s streams. RiverWatch certified volunteers, or Citizen Scientists, play an important role in helping identify potentially degraded waters and areas that may need better protection. Citizen scientists examine indicators of water quality like stream habitat and the diversity of species such as dragonfly nymphs, beetle larva, midges and snails. This interactive workshop will give you the tools to test water quality like a professional.

Workshops are from 9am–4pm.

Workshops begin with the lecture session from 9am-noon, followed by the field training session (at a local stream) from 12:30-4pm. You will be responsible for your own lunch.
