Just like people, a river’s health can be measured. What’s its temperature? Color? Chemical pH level? How does it smell?
Tracking the chemical and physical characteristics of a stream is important. It helps us learn what’s working—and where we can do more.
So volunteer as a family, a group or on your own. And get ready to wade in the water, use scientific techniques and have some fun.
