Monitoring Waterways

Volunteers involved in trash collection, data sheets will be provided to help monitor and quantify trash kept from entering our waterways.

This is part of a Virginia Clean Waterways’ Citizen Scientist initiative.

The Baliles Center plans to increase its Citizen Science opportunities to include community engagement and educational programs focused on environmental quality monitoring methods.
