Volunteer
The Sourland region’s Americorps Watershed Ambassadors will lead free STREAM volunteer training sessions in their area to teach participants to identify sensitive macroinvertibrates and assess riparian habitat. No experience is necessary. Each volunteer will complete one, two-part training session (one indoor lesson and one outdoor lesson), then accompany the Watershed Ambassador to complete a survey in a Sourland region stream. Registration is required.
