Topic: Stream Sampling in KY: Who, How, & Why

Who is this for: water quality volunteers, samplers, support hubs, professionals, students, extension agents, stream teams, elected officials, concerned citizens, YOU!

You will come away from this virtual session knowing more about who can sample streams in KY (hint: everyone!) and who is running the logistics at KY Watershed Watch. You will know how to start or continue volunteer stream sampling in your favorite or most concerning Kentucky waterway. Why does stream sampling matter? Many of these streams are drinking water, water we recreate in, and certainly water that wildlife depends on. Hear success stories on how volunteer stream sampling leads to real-life solutions to improve water quality!
