GLIN==> Clinton River Watershed Council Hosts Free Presentations in Commmunties throughout the watershed

Hello Everyone,
See the list below for some free presentations offered by the Clinton River
Watershed Council
St. Clair Shores , MI The Clinton River Watershed Council (CRWC) will hold
an Adopt-A-Stream volunteer training on Tuesday, August 18, 2009 from
6:00pm-9:00 pm at St. Clair Shores Public Library 22500 Eleven Mile Rd. St.
Clair Shores Saturday, Sept. 19, 2009 9:00am - 12:00pm. Over 200 volunteers
already participate in the Adopt-A-Stream program throughout the Clinton
River watershed.  However, there is a need for more volunteers. Interested
citizens do not need prior experience with water quality monitoring.
Adopt-A-Stream volunteers come from all walks of life, but are brought
together by their concern for our local water quality, natural resources,
and environment. New volunteers from all cities, villages, and townships are
encouraged to attend.   Anyone interested in volunteering should plan to
attend this 3 hour training series and spend 2- 3 hours, two days a year
monitoring a stream/river.  Twice a year (May and October), volunteer teams
visit their adopted sites and collect data, including physical, and
biological information about the health of our waterways. The data collected
by these volunteers will allow CRWC to develop a long-term record of aquatic
organisms, habitat quality and stream conditions that can be used by local
municipalities in developing and implementing programs to protect water
quality. For registration or questions, call (248) 601-0606 or email
contact at crwc.org. Registration is required.
