501-4539 Henrico is developing a watershed management program to improve and preserve the quality of the county s streams. Now through the end of the year, contracted teams of two or three assessors will be walking the stream channels throughout the county to determine their condition. Residents can contact Henrico Environmental Engineer Keith White at 501-7475, for any questions.

Following the classroom instruction, participants complete a 50-hour internship with the Extension Office conducting public education programs.
Committed volunteers continue to teach throughout the community after finishing the program.
Classes begin January 31 and run through March 30, 2001. The application deadline is December 1.
