Wabash Sampling Blitz - Fall 2010

September 17th: We're at it again... we'll be sampling 200+ road-stream crossings in the watershed. Sampling will occur within a 2 hour window 3:00 - 5:00 p.m. on Friday, September 17th. More details and to register as a volunteer will be available soon.

All of our volunteer slots for collecting water samples are full; however, volunteers are needed to assist at the three staging areas: north (Beck Agricultural Center - 4540 W. US 52 West Lafayette), south (Tippecanoe SWCD office - 1812 Troxel Drive, Lafayette), and west (Cicott Park, Independence). If you'd like to help, please contact Sara as detailed below.

Visit the Wabash Sampling Blitz page for information about out Fall 2009 and Spring 2010 sampling blitzes and to see the results of our spring event as soon as they become available.

To volunteer, contact Sara at (765) 337-9100 or via email at speel @lafayette.in.gov.
