Maryland Needs Volunteers to Monitor Seneca, Cabin John, and Rock Creek in Spring 2009
Thursday, December 11th, 2008The Maryland Department of Natural Resources Stream Waders program has designated Seneca Creek, Cabin John Creek, and Rock Creek as some of the Maryland streams they would like for citizen volunteers to monitor during the index period of March and April. This program is the citizen volunteer component of the Maryland Biological Stream Survey and has been found in studies to have reliability comparable to professional monitoring.
The closest training session to the area is on February 21st at the Patuxent 4-H center in Upper Marlboro. Stream Waders is a great way to learn about the water quality of these streams. Check out http://www.dnr.state.md.us/streams/mbss/w_new.html for more information.
