Volunteers

We rely on volunteers to collect and post data about what's happening in Richland County's eight watersheds. Volunteers are precipitation, lake and stream monitors and they all require equipment, training and orientation. We also have volunteers who assist with office projects and at special events. We are always looking for volunteers and if you are interested in soil and water health, please contact Zoe at 419-774-8986.
