Comments:
RA welcomes new volunteers to assist with stream monitoring at several locations. Get involved with a small team during all seasons to collect data and identify insects with the goal of assessing the health of Reston’s streams.
If you are interested in assisting with stream monitoring for more than one or two sessions, training and practice opportunities are offered by joining seasoned volunteers and RA staff.

You can earn a Virginia Save Our Streams stream monitoring certification by successfully demonstrating your ability to identify macro-invertebrates. Each monitoring session consists of 2-3 hours. Any interest and commitment levels are appreciated.

To receive notices of upcoming monitoring dates, e-mail [email protected] with the subject line “add me to the stream monitors list” to express interest.
