The 2006 Watershed Snapshot will be held from April 21 to 30. Join volunteers from across the Commonwealth as they survey the health of Pennsylvania's watersheds.

This activity provides volunteers with monitoring choices including water chemistry, macroinvertebrates, physical stream characteristics, a visual stream assessment, and a riparian zone survey. Volunteers can do any or all of the monitoring.

Groups can join the Snapshot by getting a complete 2006 Snapshot registration packet, reporting their results and seeing the results of others on the 2006 Watershed Snapshot webpage.

Questions about Watershed Snapshot can be directed to Kevin Kelly, Citizens' Volunteer Monitoring Program at kekelly@state.pa.us or 717-772-5807.

Look at the results of previous Snapshots on the archives webpage going back to the start of the Snapshot program in Pennsylvania in 1996.
