SYRACUSE — Have you ever wanted to be a citizen scientist and help the Wawasee Area Conservancy Foundation collect information to learn more about our watershed’s water quality? Now is your chance.
They need your help during their “Snapshot Water Testing Day,” to be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 5-7 p.m. Tuesday, June 14, at the Levinson-LaBrosse Lakes & Wetlands Education Center, 11586 SR 13, Syracuse.
Participants will come to the center, pick up their equipment, participate in training, go out to one or two sites, collect water and conduct the tests. They then will return to the center to complete additional water tests. Expect to get wet during the testing.
A few weeks later, participants will receive the results of the water testing in the form of a map showing a “snapshot” of the watershed for each test completed. The work will help WACF identify possible areas of concern upstream in smaller tributaries.
