We are excited to begin our fourth season of bacteria monitoring thanks to Mass DEP funding. This year we will assess 9 – 10 sites for bacteria. Volunteers are needed to collect samples about 2 times a month from mid-June to end of September. We expect sites will be located in the East Branch of the Housatonic Watershed, the Green River, Konkapot River, and Schenob Brook watersheds. There may also be help needed with monitoring our temperature and conductivity loggers. Training is provided.

Anticipated training date Tuesday, June 6 – 10am to about 11:30am

Location: Konkapot River/ River Road intersection (pull-out parking area) in Monterey. Please call the office 413-298-7024 to register. Leave a message if I don’t answer! Be prepared to get in the water – bring water shoes or knee high boots!
