Get your feet wet! The Connecticut River Watch Program (CRWP) is looking for water sampling volunteers to assist with our water quality study focused on the Coginchaug River. The study will assist in efforts to identify sources of bacteria to the Coginchaug, a river that has been designated by the state as impaired due to poor water quality.
Water samplers are needed for selected sites on streams in North Guilford, Durham, Middlefield and Middletown. Responsibilities include collecting water samples before 8 a.m. on 10 sample days (all Wednesdays), and delivering them to a nearby drop-off location. Sampling will begin on Wednesday, June 13, and continue every other week until October 17. No experience is necessary—we will train you! To volunteer or for more information, please contact the Conservation District office at (860) 346-3282.
