Want to collect important scientific data all within your local stream? Come participate in this year’s WAVE Basic Training!
The Rockland County Soil and Water Conservation District is recruiting volunteers for the Water Assessment by Volunteer Evaluator (WAVE) program for 2024, a NYS Department of Environmental Conservation project that is coordinated locally by the Rockland County SWCD. Volunteers collect and identify benthic macroinvertebrates – indicators of water quality – in local county streams to help determine any impaired streams.
In-person training runs from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, June 26 at Kakiat County Park in Ramapo. Please RSVP by Tuesday, June 25 by email to [email protected] or call 845-364-2669. Rockland County Division of Environmental Resources
