Learn

One of our roles in the watershed is to be a resource for watershed residents, businesses, and municipalities to access information about rivers and watershed issues. We aim to better educate ourselves and our community so we can work collectively towards a healthier watershed.

Landowner Resources and Consultations

We offer FREE consultations on how to make properties friendlier to our rivers, wildlife, and infrastructure. We can suggest practices specific to your situation that positively impact water quality, ecosystems, and flood resiliency.

Water Quality Sampling

FWR works through the LaRosa program to coordinate community partners in collecting water quality samples at numerous sites throughout the watershed. The samples are tested for phosphorus, nitrogen, and chloride. This monitoring is important for tracking trends in water quality over time and has also helped us to identify some remediation projects. Fill out our Volunteer Form if you would like to help!

Curriculum in Schools

FWR works with schools to incorporate watershed studies into the science curriculum, and to make school campuses greener. Get in touch if you are an educator interested in working with us.
