The Land Conservancy of San Luis Obispo County's Our mission is to collect accurate water quality data to support local water quality improvement, fisheries restoration, and community education programs. The SLO Creek Monitors have spaces open on field monitoring teams. If you would like to join us, and will be in the area through the summer months, please contact us.
All volunteers recieve training on water sampling and chemical analysis.
Volunteer monitoring is fun and a great way to meet new people. This information is used to gauge the success of local restoration and pollution reduction programs, identify areas where problems need to be addressed, and to educate the public about the importance of water quality. All volunteers receive training in our sampling methods and testing protocols which are outlined in our Data Quality Objectives Plan and Quality Assurance Procedures Plan.
