Have you been wondering how Hoosic River Watershed Association collects water samples in the North Adams flood chutes to test for e.coli? Stop by the Brown Street Bridge in North Adams for a demonstration of collection technique and what we are noticing for bacterial load this year in the flood chutes. Join HooRWA for this free public program on Thursday, July 31 from 5:00-5:30pm. Be a citizen scientist. Interns will be on hand to help you try your hand at collecting a water sample. All are welcome. This program is made possible through a grant from the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation.
