Illinois River Watch

Protect Illinois waterways by becoming a RiverWatch Citizen Scientist. The Illinois RiverWatch Network is a statewide, non-profit, volunteer stream monitoring program. Upon completing training, volunteers adopt a stream site and examine indicators of water quality like stream habitat and diversity of species such as dragonfly nymphs, beetle larva, midges, and snails. Citizen scientists play an important role in helping identify potentially degraded waters and areas that may need better protection.

Registration is $50 for adults. Children (17 and under) may attend but must be accompanied by a parent/guardian who is registered for the workshop.
