The North Central WaterWatch program is fortunate to have a small but steady stream of new volunteers joining, which also gives the team the opportunity to meet community members at their adopted sites for inductions and training.
Earlier this year, we had the pleasure of attending the Beacon Careers Expo in Echuca to help run a River Detectives display. Here they met Isobel, a Year 10 student who had been searching for opportunities to volunteer for the environment.
Soon after, Isobel reached out to the North Central Citizen Science team to express interest in signing up to the WaterWatch program to monitor a site along the Campaspe River in Echuca. Everyone met up with Isobel and her parents at the monitoring site she had chosen and together walked her through the induction and conducted training in water quality monitoring. A big welcome to Isobel – North Central CMA are excited to see what she learns about the river at her site and are always excited to get more youth on board!
