Information for Watershed Survey Volunteers
Thank You For Volunteering To Help With This Project!!!
The survey will be conducted on Saturday, April 26, 2008.
The survey is rain or shine but in the event of really bad weather, or if there is still too much snow cover, a postponement notice will be posted on the web home page.
Full instructions on how to conduct the survey will be given during the training workshop.
Children are invited to participate as an educational experience but will need to be with an adult that is responsible for their actions.
Otisfield students that are participating as part of their service work should coordinate with Ms. Ruth Wilson.
