The call for social distancing by the COVID-19 pandemic is a challenge especially for Prince William County residents who enjoy promoting water quality awareness through water quality monitoring and streams cleanup events.
Last spring, the big Annual Occoquan River cleanup among other water quality events were cancelled due to the pandemic. But this has not stopped volunteers' willingness to impact local streams in PWC as they could still be seen working as individuals an families to make a difference. This shows PWC residents have taken the protection of water as a natural resource more personal.
Special thanks to all the families and individuals who have put on their social distancing hats to engage on private stream cleanup events and water quality monitoring. They affirm how much vitality is gained interacting with the nature environment!
