HooRWA Stream Team in Adams seeks volunteers01:09PM / Tuesday, June 09, 2009
The Hoosic River Watershed Association Stream Team in Adams is looking for volunteers to provide stewardship for the river and streams in Adams to improve trout fishing, beautify the watershed, and keep our water clean. Three introductory and work meetings will be held on Sat. June 13, 9am – noon, Wed. June 17, 4-6pm, and Wed. June 24, 4-6pm meeting at the Adams Visitors Center on Hoosac Street in Adams.
Those interested are encouraged to attend any or all of these meetings. This group of volunteers takes on various watershed related tasks, to be determined by the group itself. Activities will include stream walks to evaluate problem areas, stream clean-ups, removal of invasive plant species, public education such as labeling storm drains, and learning about water quality through macro-invertebrates testing. HooRWA will provide coordination, training opportunities, the loan of equipment, and a repository for data. If you would like HooRWA to give a brief presentation to your organization, please contact us.
