Bedford Audubon Society

The 2008 Westchester County Citizens' Volunteer Monitoring Training Schedule has just been finalized! This exciting program provides an opportunity for citizen volunteers to help the County create a baseline of water quality data on streams throughout the county. It also provides a great opportunity for Westchester's towns and villages to fulfill some of their Phase II Stormwater Public Participation and Involvement requirements.

The training takes place on a full Saturday from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm.
We will spend the whole day outside learning and practicing how to use the stream monitoring equipment.

The training dates and locations are:
Saturday, April 26 - Hilltop Hanover Farm, Yorktown Heights
Saturday, May 3 - Rye Nature Center, Rye
Saturday, May 10 - Ward Pound Ridge Reservation, Cross River
Saturday, May 17 - Teatown Lake Reservation, Ossining
