Under the
leadership of DRBA’s Vice President, Wayne Kirkpatrick, Virginia Save Our Streams
staff, and volunteers, we have trained staff and volunteers in water
quality monitoring methods. We have held monitoring events
specifically targeted to children with classroom and field
activities that reached approximately 2,500 students in Patrick and
Henry counties. In addition, DRBA has participated in a number of
festivals displaying our “critter pond” and monitoring equipment.
Currently, we plan
to provide teacher and volunteer workshops to provide training in
stream monitoring, as well as to schedule meetings with school boards to
incorporate stream monitoring and Trout in the Classroom into the
schools’ curricula in ways that could help students achieve higher
Standards of Learning (SOL) scores.
Read the article linked above and
use the contacts shown to volunteer as a stream monitor. Volunteer,
today! You'll be making a difference and enjoying fellowship of like
minded people while you're experiencing the resource, up close and
personal! |
