Citizen Science Volunteer Opportunities with CPRW!
CPRW, CSU and the Rocky Mountain Research Station are launching a citizen science water quality monitoring program in the upper Poudre watershed. The goal of the program is to gather additional baseline water quality data throughout the upper watershed and to track potential changes following future prescribed burns. Later this summer we will be starting initial data collection and training with volunteers. If you are interested or would like to learn more about this opportunity, please email Hally.
