SC Adopt-a-Stream Training

SC Adopt-a-Stream volunteers make a positive impact by monitoring their adopted site monthly. Volunteers learn how to collect data that can be shared with their local community, used for restoration projects and referenced for educational purposes. 

No scientific background or experience is necessary–all are welcome to learn how to collect data that can help protect and restore freshwater streams through the SC Adopt-a-Stream program! This FREE training will provide classroom and in-stream instruction for volunteer monitors on how to: select a monitoring site, use chemical/bacterial/salinity equipment properly, collect samples, test water quality, enter data, determine stream conditions, and practice safety in the field.
