Adopt-A-Stream
The Upstate's volunteer water quality monitoring program
The SC Adopt-a-Stream program is led in partnership by SC Department of Health and Environmental Control and the CU Center for Watershed Excellence. The SC Adopt-A-Stream program offers the opportunity to participate in volunteer water-quality monitoring. Across the country, citizen-based monitoring programs are educating the general public about water quality issues and the actions they can take to help by providing engaging hands-on experiences to citizen volunteers. With several partner organizations, the Greenville Zoo is helping implement and expand such a program in the Upstate of South Carolina.
For more information on the SC AAS program and how you can become involved, please email Katie Callahan, Center for Watershed Excellence or visit SC Adopt a Stream.
The Greenville Zoo has two water quality testing kits available for check out and use to support this citizen science program. Please contact us the Greenville Zoo education department at 864-467-4850 or zooed@greenvillesc.gov for more information on how you can participate in the program.
