Brodhead Watershed Assn. StreamWatch Volunteer Training May 20 In Monroe County

The pure creeks and streams of the Brodhead watershed in Monroe County define our lives. You can’t go half a mile in our area without seeing a creek or hearing water. It’s so much a part of everyday life, we take it for granted.

And yet, erosion, pollution and just plain not caring can change that in a New York minute!

StreamWatchers are the volunteer watchdogs who protect our pure water by visiting our creeks and streams once a month -- and documenting the facts about changes in water quality and water quantity.

If you want to keep our creeks and streams safe, and have an hour or so just once a month, come find out about being a StreamWatcher.

Training and information sessions will be held at Brodhead Creek Heritage Center at 1539 Cherry Lane Road, near Analomink on May 20 at 10:00 a.m. 

Naturalist Darryl Speicher will talk about the program and how you can help. Almost 100 sites are monitored throughout the watershed -- one of them near you!

Get outdoors and do something good! Call the Brodhead Watershed Association at 570 839-1120 for more information.
