Citizen Scientists Needed

We are calling for volunteers who have helped QRWA perform RBV before or who want to participate for the first time to help us with this project.  This is a wonderful way to become active in learning more about the waterways of central CT.

Volunteers will be taking aquatic creature samples along various points along the Q River and its incoming streams, categorizing the live little creatures, returning the samples back into the water and sending some samples to the state of CT for verification.

General Training Session October 5th, 7 to 9 p.m.

General Training is for All Volunteers Including Team Leaders and will be held at:

The Quinnipiac River Watershed Association
