Skagit Stream Team volunteers wanted for training

Volunteers for the 2022-23 Skagit Stream Team Program are needed. This is a citizen science opportunity for adults, age 18 and up, to participate in “hands on” water quality monitoring and to gain an understanding of the relationship between natural factors, land use impacts and a stream’s health.

Participants will work in the Samish Bay, Padilla Bay, Kulshan Creek, Trumpeter Basin, Gages Slough, Ace of Hearts or Nookachamps watersheds. The time commitment is approximately two to four hours a month through June 2023.

Training, equipment and supplies are free. Applications are due to the Skagit Conservation District by Friday, Sept. 16. The training will be held 6:30-8:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 21 and Thursday, Sept. 22, and Saturday, Sept. 24 from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. New volunteers must attend all training sessions.

To register or for more information, contact Cindy Pierce at the Skagit Conservation District, 360-428-4313 ext. 1025 or [email protected].
