Stream Team monitors provide an important service by being the “eyes and ears” of our local waterways. Water quality data collected by volunteers provides baseline information about a stream, and monitors are sometimes the first to note possible water quality problems. To become a stream volunteer, register for the water quality monitoring training on October 16, 9 a.m.-12 p.m. For more information, contact the Stream Team office at (253) 845-2973 or by e-mail: isabelr@piercecountycd.org. |
