2009 Stream Quality Monitoring (SQM) Workshops 

Spend more time outside—become a scenic river volunteer!

Looking to spend a few extra hours outside or just love wading in streams and getting your feet wet? Become a volunteer monitor and help assess the health of Ohio’s State Scenic Rivers. You’ll be checking for changes in water quality and aquatic habitat, as well as learning more about the critters who call our scenic rivers home.

It’s easy to become a volunteer and training is FREE.

If stream quality monitoring (SQM) sounds like something you’d like to do, check the list for a workshop in your local area. Many of the workshops are held rain or shine.
