Water Samplers Needed, May-Oct 2022
Join the Community Water Monitoring Network (CWMN) Team! Volunteers are needed annually to collect water quality samples at various sites throughout the watershed, as part of the CWMN program. Sampling occurs once a month, on the second Thursday, from May through Oct. Training is provided.
We always need backup or fill-in volunteers to sample on days when our regular volunteers aren’t able to.
If you or anyone you know might be interested in helping us out, please email Meghan Slocombe at Slocombe@neponset.org.
Learn more about the CWMN Program.
