Enjoy being outdoors while measuring the quality of local rivers and streams in Southeast Michigan! Get outside, meet new people, help protect our region’s home waters, and collect vital information for Michigan’s premier volunteer water chemistry and flow monitoring program. Learn how to collect water samples, measure stream flow, and sample runoff from rain storms. No prior experience needed. After completing this orientation, volunteers are expected to commit to at least 4 sampling trips during the growing season (April through September) to designated monitoring sites in Washtenaw, Wayne, and Livingston counties. During each sampling trip, volunteers spend 2-4 hours in the field on average.
