Sessions are open to all RRC Stream Monitors.  You do not need to live in the county to attend the workshop.

New monitors are needed to replace ‘retiring’ monitors and for new sites. Monitors go out monthly to a wadable stream and take simple measurements of water quality including dissolved oxygen, temperature, turbidity, flow, habitat and biotic index. It generally takes 3-4 hours, May and November and 2 hours each month, June thru September.
