Wawasee Area Conservancy Foundation's Education Center for the Wawasee Area Conservancy Foundation
Hoosier Riverwatch Volunteer Water Quality Monitoring "Basic" Training introduces citizens and educators to water quality monitoring utilizing hands-on habitat, chemical, and biological assessment methods. Participants gain experience and skills in the use of chemical monitoring kits and aquatic insect collection and identification. The sessions are held both inside and outdoors. After completion of this training, participants become "Certified Volunteer Monitors" and are qualified to submit data to the statewide volunteer stream monitoring database. Any interested adult is welcome to attend, and once certified, may teach students how to monitor.
Teachers and Educators: Hoosier Riverwatch topics and activities are correlated to Indiana's Academic Standards for Science and you may also receive CRUs for attending a workshop!
Monitoring Equipment Packages: After attending the training, individuals that work for schools, non-profits, and government agencies are eligible to apply for a Monitoring Equipment Package, valued at over $400 worth of testing supplies and materials! Contact us for more information.
