Saturday, November 15, 2008 - Fall Monitoring Event
Join us for our Fall quarterly water quality monitoring event, 9am at Ben Burton Park. We'll sample aquatic biota and measure water quality in area streams. Light breakfast and coffee are provided. As always, no experience necessary. Quarterly monitoring events are a great way to get to know the creeks that form the foundation of the Oconee watershed.
