Save the date!  River Rendezvous is coming!
This is UOWN's signature yearly event.

WHEN: Saturday, April 14th 2012
TIME: 9am
WHERE: Sandy Creek Nature Center's ENSAT building

Help us address water quality issues in streams and rivers of the Upper Oconee Watershed, and learn about water quality monitoring!

Volunteers meet for a brief training session at 9am, then go out to collect water samples from local streams for water quality analysis.  UOWN uses the resulting data to identify polluted streams that require immediate attention, and to monitor long-term trends in water quality. 

A light breakfast (with abundant coffee!) will be provided for all volunteers.  Wear waterproof shoes and dress for the weather -- we'll have a good time, rain or shine.  All ages are welcome!  Children accompanied by an adult, please. 

Contact: Blackwell.Summer@gmail.com with questions. 
See you there!

Mission: The Upper Oconee Watershed is dedicated to protecting water resources and improving stream health in our watershed through community-based advocacy, monitoring, and education.

UOWN is dedicated to promoting citizen awareness of local water resource issues and advocating sound watershed management practices.

We seek opportunities to use our monitoring data to influence water resource policy and local land use decisions, including:

  • Compiling data summary reports
  • Meeting with regulatory officials concerning problem sites
  • Commenting on proposed water resource legislation
  • Submitting newspaper articles and letters

Please join the UOWN Yahoo! discussion group to receive updates about all of our upcoming activities.
