Become a water quality watcher
Help keep tabs on water quality in Western North Carolina by joining the Volunteer Water Information Network.
Haywood Waterways Association manages 25 sites on 19 Haywood County streams through the network, with volunteers needed for sites on Lower Fines Creek off Interstate 40 exit 15 and mid-Fines Creek at the intersection of Fines Creek Road and Max Patch Road. Results allow for long-term water quality monitoring information that helps leverage grant funding for water quality improvement projects.
Training and materials are provided, and backup volunteers are available for all sites. For more information, contact Christine O’Brien at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or 828.476.4667, ext. 1.
