CITIZEN MONITORING PROGRAM
Syb Blythe, Carey Kimball and Bruce Smith
Monitoring on Big Chico Creek below Iron Canyon
We’re starting year two of our volunteer assessment efforts
in Big Chico Creek watershed and you can join us!
In 2004 over 50 volunteers were trained and helped collect
information on the health of Big Chico Creek watershed.
This year we hope you will join us in our efforts as we begin
Phase Two of our program. Phase Two continues monitoring
in the foothill zone of the watershed and expands to include
monitoring sites in the mountain and valley zones as well.
Volunteers will be trained in June and will receive a certificate
stating that they have successfully completed our water quality
monitoring training course. These certificates not only
acknowledge our appreciation of the volunteers' effort but
also serve to insure the information collected will be useful
to all those interested in keeping our creek healthy.
In addition, volunteers that attend a training workshop and four monitoring
events will be awarded a Big Chico Creek Monitoring Team T-shirt!
We truly appreciate the efforts and hard work of our volunteers,
and recognize their involvement is critically important in
our efforts to protect the health of Big Chico Creek.
Training workshops will be offered in June, and again this
fall. Monitoring will be conducted each year during
the months of April through October and once during the winter
months as well. We hope you will join us!

events please contact our monitoring coordinator: Timmarie
